Bling!

Sam has a real obsession with jewelry. She is a girl after my own heart. 🙂 She is always taking me by the hand over to my jewelry armoire and opening the doors so she can look around. There is only one drawer full of costume necklaces that I really let her look at because I don’t want her to break any chain accidentally, but she loves it all the same. She is always pulling the necklaces out one by one and looking at them like they are 24 carat gold. The smiles on her little face are priceless. She actually has some jewelry of her own but she is too little to wear any of it still. Well, all except for that one teething necklace she stole from me. My mom bought her some stuff for her house that Sam can wear that she can’t hurt herself with.
Last night Mark and I went to Kohl’s to shop for clothes. Sam got bored being in the stroller so I let her walk around a bit. We happened to be right next to the jewelry section and I thought her head was going to explode from the excitement! She ran from case to case laughing and sighing. Then she spotted all the rows and rows of exposed jewelry. She had such a good time touching everything (very gently, I might add) and looking at each and every beaded item. She would sit down and just look and look at each item with such fascination. I finally was able to drag her away so we could go and find Mark. He took her around the store for a while so I could shop on my own and he told me they spent most of their time…you guessed it…in the jewelry section. Hey, at least it kept her quiet and amused.
We were checking out and Mark had Sam sitting on the counter at the cash register. I found a necklace in the bottom of the cart and I asked Mark if she had been playing with it. She had, so I just stuck it off to the side. The cashier, a young girl with about a million pink bangle bracelets on, asked me if she likes jewlery. We started talking about how much she loves it and the cashier gave Sam two of her bracelets. Sam was so excited. She put them on and wore them in the car the whole way home. She puts on bracelets and turns her arm back and forth like she is really checking herself out. So adorable!
Whatever guy Sam winds up with had better keep her in jewelry or all hell will break loose! Of course, Mark and I both hope that Sam is financially independent and can keep her own cute self in as many jewels as she wants. Well, that and she will probably wind up with a lot of mine over the years. But that’s ok. Passing down your treasured items to your child is just another wonderful part of parenthood.
