[quote=Anonymous]This is such an interesting thread.  I was at the playground today and it was crawling with kids 1-6 yrs old which is DD's range (she's 4).

There was one little girl, about 2, stunningly beautiful, and her mom obviously put a LOT of effort into her kid's looks and her own.  But even at 2, I swear the girl seemed to just walk around looking at people like "aren't you going to gush over me?"  Where other kids her age were running and playing (as well as 2 yr olds can when being overrun by 3-6 yr olds!), she just walked around looking at people and didn't seem to actually play.

Then I looked at my DD.  people are always commenting on how beautiful she is and once, with thoughts of an early start to her college fund, we agreed to sign her up for kid modeling and they wanted to sign her. Thank goodness we came to our senses and ran far away fast.  So I'm looking at her today, in plain blue shorts, shirt, hair insanely messy, face covered in chocolate, knees filthy, climbing on everything... And I was so glad we've never focused on her looks (except the modeling try-out when she was 2), and always focused on character.

I guess I felt bad for the pretty little girl who already seemed to feel too pretty to play.  Everyone here, if your kids are bright lights and well-loved, they are no doubt the most beautiful kids out there!  I think joy is the most beautiful element of any person.[/quote]
