I am going through this also. Unfortunately it started at 2.5 in my house. ( I have terrible twos combined with being girly) I try to reinforce her being beautiful in everything she wears, especially pants. When she does wear pants, I tell her that she looks beautiful and should wear pants more often. My only concern is her belief that beauty is tied to her clothes. Other than that, let them be beautiful![/quote]

+1. I could have written your post even right down to the compliments on hair. My DD has natural blonde ringlets and people go gaga over it whenever we're out. DD totally eats this up and she'll be in the mirror posing whenever she can get the chance. One time I caught her in the mirror running her fingers through her hair and she looked up at me and said, "My hair is just sooo blonde!" I was so vain, I had a hard time ignoring it. But, that's exactly what needed to do. Get her a smock and keep it rolling. She'll grow out of the behavior.[/quote]
