Pretty in Pink
We frustrated a number of people by deciding not to learn the gender of our child when we had the opportunity back at the 20-week mark. Many people, it turns out, depend on this crucial piece of information in order to make color-appropriate gift choices. As a result, the clothes that were gifted to us prior to Alden's arrival are decidedly color-neutral. She has a lot of yellows and creams, onesies with white backgrounds and playful prints that might successfully decorate either a boy or girl, but nothing that screamed boyness or girlness to the exclusion of the other possibility.
Until yesterday.
Yesterday, our very thoughtful next door neighbors presented us with a box that contained an unambiguously feminine outfit. And though it is rated for the 6-9 month age range, we couldn't help put put Alden in it to see how she cut it as a proper little girl.
You be the judge.
