Feather Boa

As we're doing "Showtime" here at the office, Madison found herself a feather boa and did her best impression of a diva - I think she's got the look down!

If this picture doesn't already say it, you should know that Madison is a princess. Go ahead and ask her if she's a princess, and she'll say "yes!" She puts on lipstick or lip balm or whatever whenever she gets the chance, and always likes to dress up with all sorts of jewelry from necklaces to bracelets to rings. At this point, it doesn't matter if they actually match. The point is that she's wearing all sorts of girly things. This, I'm convinced, is girl trait that is more genetic than learned. Although I can point out she likes karate, giant mechanical scorpions and Batman, she still will take time to dress appropriately in the latest outlandish styles. A further worry: she likes small, yappy dogs. Oh, yeah. She's one of those kinds. I promise Daddy is trying to do all he can to steer her away from being another Sharpay Evans, but there's some scary girl gene in there that seems to override every effort!

This is scary concept, of course. As someday she'll be loose in a mall... and even scarier, someday she might have a credit card!
