With this in mind, I find myself wondering if I should get my little girl into baby modeling. Now, let me just say that I am not a fan of dressing my child up in high heals, frilly dresses, way too much makeup and teasing her hair until it stands 1 foot off the top of her head. I do not in any way want to enter her in beauty pagents and make her feel like she has to act, feel and look a certain way because that is what society says she is supposed to do. However, I wouldn't mind if she modeled children's clothing or something of the sort. The only thing is that...would people think she is cute enough for it?
As a parent, you always think your baby is adorable...even if others don't think so. (I know you have told someone their baby is cute and then went home and said that it was the ugliest baby you've ever seen) Parents have a skewed opinion and rightfully so. But how you do know that a baby really is cute? I have had numerous people tell me that my daughter is beautiful, even complete and total strangers who have no obligation to stop me during a dinner out and tell my that my baby is beautiful. But, I don't know these people. For all I know, they do it for every baby they see to make their parents feel proud!
So once again, I am left wondering, is she cute enough and will it be worth the effort to get her started. So, I decided to start her off small and enter her in a beautiful babies contest through WB17. On July 6th the voting starts, so if you truly think my daughter is beautiful go to httpttp://beautifulbabies.trb.com/wphl/babies_home_gallery,0,6338980,permalink.ugcphotogallery?u=christina.moses1 and vote for her. I'm not expecting anything to happen because I'm sure there will be thousands of other babies entered, but at least I tried right?
haha...I think that EVERY mom talks about 'entering their kids into child modeling' at some point or time or another. I am sure of it. You definitely arent the only one, and that's why I know she'll have some stiff competition. She's lovely, but, in my opinion, I wouldn't really want that for my kids. I mean, these little contests are cute, but the real-full blown modeling stuff isn't worth the efforts (in only MY opinion). But, I think she's lovely, you know that.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, Chriss. People tell me that Jayden is to die for and that they say they never tell people their children are cute unless they really mean it. (whatever - I'm convinced people say that all over the board... people are just always being nice) I just don't know. I think he is absolutely beautiful (along with your little one) but remember we are their mommy. Sucks... because I do think our children are so FREAKING cute, but my theory... and my theory alone... is ... Let the kid make the decision. I know she can't now... but when they are old enough to say "mommy, I want to do this..." and so on, then maybe have them "try it," you know? Again... you are the mommy! You know what's best for your little one and that's all the matters. Totally related to your post so I just thought I would comment on it! :)
