Between Baby and Big Girl: Accessories My Preschooler Loves
My daughter is having an identity crisis.
Some days she’s a “baby,” insisting on sitting on my lap while I work or asking her father for a piggy back ride up the stairs. Other days she’s a “big girl”- you’ll find her trotting around the house in my high heels and scarves, wanting to do all the same things Mommy does.
Because she in the midst of this phase between baby and big girl, choosing clothes for her can sometimes be a challenge.
One of the reasons I love shopping for my kids’ clothes at Target is because there are so many options that are just right for my sometimes-precocious daughter. The trick, I’ve found, is in shopping for accessories that will easily make the transition from toddler to little girl.
Here are some options I love. They’re great to pair with her everyday clothes and help bridge that gap between baby and big girl.
