The flower girl with the inside smile

Last weekend, Kirsten was supposed to be the flower girl at a friend’s wedding but the HFMD was a bit of a pain and we weren’t sure if she should continue with it. But the bride really wanted her so we developed a plan to get her there just in time for the march-in and whisk her away right after. It was like a clandestine operation to make sure she didn’t come into contact with anyone.

When she woke up on Saturday, we asked her if she was up for it and she held her mouth for a moment but then she took one look at the flower girl outfit and nodded her head.

She held her little sign proudly and made her way down the aisle. Ok, she did freeze and drop her sign after a few steps but she found her groove and made it all the way to the end, which is the important thing.

The whole time, she just looked all sullen-like and basked in the adoration like a very cool angsty teenager. I’m calling this look the inside smile because well, she’s just smiling on the inside.

      Seriously, BOO??!! She’s my all time favorite Pixar character. SO CUTE! Next Halloween I’ll make her wear a monster suit just like boo.

    Awwww….. Kirsten was so brave! And looked so adorable in the tutu. Kids can still look cute with that kind of expression; see the grown-ups all smiling and taking pictures of her when she walked down the aisle.

      Yeah only kids can get away with looking stoned and sulky. And models too I suppose.

    She can do no wrong in that flowergirl outfit. And she actually did the entire walk. Well done, Kirsten!

    “Kirsten walk very well down the aisle” (to mimic Kirsten-talk). Uber cute and sooo brave!

    • Reply Daphne November 14, 2011 at 9:11 pm

      Hahahah nice one. She did say that a few days later when I showed her the pics. She was all “So PRETTY! I walk very well, remember?”

    She looks absolutely gorgeous! And I love that big placard she is holding “I’m not the bride” – so unique!!

    • Reply Daphne November 14, 2011 at 9:12 pm

      Oh ya it was a great idea! There was another flower girl before her holding a sign with “Here comes the bride” and Kirsten was supposed to hold “I’m not the bride” just before the bride walked in.
