Girly, yet casual... go for le•top's Flower Power collection.
Earlier this month, Miranda had her “Special Day” at preschool. Special Day means that since her birthday is during the summer when there is no preschool, she gets to have a Special “Miranda” Day to celebrate all things Miranda. She brought her favorite book to read in class (Baloney Henry P. – she likes all things outer space-related) and shared her favorite board game with her classmates (Caribou by Cranium). She was also the teacher’s helper: the flag holder during the “Pledge of Allegiance” and the calendar pointer while reciting the months of the year in front of the classroom all by herself. This is a great opportunity for parents to take oodles of photos of their child!
As it was her “Special Day” (and because I was going to take oodles of photos!), I wanted to get her more dressed up than usual for preschool. I decided on le•top’s Flower Power shirt and pant set, thinking the outfit provided that little extra to make her stand out, while still being comfortable enough to sit on the floor (as well as the other activities of school!). It certainly did! I love the bright colors and the soft fabrics. The aqua shirt is velvety soft, and the corduroy pants are colorful and pliant (unlike most corduroy pants which are usually heavy, scratchy and stiff.)
After 2-1/2 hours of “Special Day” activities, we drove home with a crown atop her head and a big smile on her face! Miranda usually starts peeling off her clothes the moment we set foot in the house, wanting to change into something more comfy. But not that day! She loves wearing all her le•top clothes – even the dresses! – to play in, jump around in, and even for just sitting around in at home (which is fine, because these clothes are durable!).
I keep getting reminded: though le•top clothes are very stylish and adorable…they are made for comfort…with REAL kids in mind! And who’s a better judge than a 4-year old girl who is special in so many ways – not just one day, but every day!

Miranda is such a special kid…somehow that word doesn’t quite seem enough…I’m just so charmed by her!
Miranda is really special. It is a mystery to me where she got that special talent of memorizing songs just like that. And the beat and rhythm. What a memory! Neither her mom nor her dad has that kind of special skill I don’t think, nor does her grandpa Joe but maybe grandma Sylvia (memory) or grandma Gloria (rhythm). She’s some sort of a musical prodigy.
It is not a surprise for Miranda to love and get excited over le•top clothes. She really is “little Sylvia” in many ways when it comes to wanting to have the best and the latest style in dressing up. Would you believe her wish list addressed to Santa last Christmas was filled with clothes and shoes for different occasions……there was not a single toy!
Oh how quickly parents forget what their kids can do once they get grandkids. 🙂
Hey Grampa Joe… Don’t you remember that I play piano, taught myself guitar, and sang in choir? I’m also am a very good dancer. Miranda’s Daddy also plays guitar and trumpet. (His rhythm could use some work though.) 🙂
Miranda is musical and special because of all of us. But full credit, I’d say, comes from her Mommy and Daddy.
The truth is in the child. Jamee writes that Miranda touched her magic wand to her heart and explained that is where her power is. She then proceeded to spread that love and power throughout the nursery to bless her unborn brother or sister. My point being, Miranda’s expressions validate the love, joy and talents of so many— past, present and future. To see Miranda in the beautiful le top attire is a result of the magic wand working in her life…and the magic wand working in grandma’s life too!
