Trixie, My Flower Princess

Here are some photos of my two kids at Jon and Michelle Go's wedding last October 2, 2010. This was Trixie's third time to be a flower girl, and she was really good at it.

Flowergirl for the Second Time Around

Trixie just adored being a flowergirl at Kris's wedding last Fenruary 15. (Thanks, Kris!) That was truly one of my proud moments as a mom. She showed me that she is a big girl already and she can do it all by herself. She can't wait to do it again, if there's a next time...

Flower girl Trixie :)

I am so proud to say that last October 28, Trixie became an adorable flower girl at her Uncle Bryan's wedding. Hand in hand, we walked down the aisle. No crying, no fussing. I was really happy and proud; she was such a good girl. One compromise I made with Trixie - wearing her Crocs with the gown! We are still waiting for the pictures/ video at the church from the photographer, but for now, here are some moments before the wedding.

Trixie wore the gown!!!

Well, this is the final fitting, not yet the big day, but I'm so so so happy and relieved (isn't it obvious in my smile?) that Trixie opened the box and initiated wearing the gown. She loved the dress! Hopefully, she will wear this again next, next week. We'll see...

How can I get her to wear this gown again???

Next month, my little princess will be having her first stint as a flower girl at Brandon's brother's wedding.  I guess it's always a mother's dream to see her kids become part of any wedding entourage--- all dressed-up and looking cute, but it just dawned on me that it will be a most stressful time too because of these two major factors: One, will Trixie walk down the aisle?  If not, I have to accept the fact that I might walk with her or worse, carry her down the aisle. Two, will Trixie even want to wear the gown? Luckily for the gown fitting, Trixie agreed to wear the gown only because we were watching Annie at that time and Annie happened to be wearing a long night gown.  So I paused the movie and pointed out what Annie was wearing, and so she was convinced to wear the dress.  After just a few minutes (while Brandon was speed-clicking on the camera), Trixie started to whine about the dress and cried for me to remove it quickly... so there!  How can I convince her to wear the gown again???  And if she won't wear the gown, do I still let her walk down the aisle...wearing her favorite shirt and shorts???
