Captain Rex Influence

I have to hand it to my daughter, she's definitely something else. Growing up, I was never into the whole princess scene especially as I got older. Amazingly, my daughter isn't either. She's more into boy things and doesn't want to be pretty. I've had somewhat of a problem accepting this because I think she is so beautiful. When she was little, I'd love dressing her up in these beautiful dresses and getting her hair all prettied up. Now she won't wear dresses and will only either have her hair down, or up in a ponytail. So today for Characters Day at school she wanted to be Captain Rex from the Clone Wars in Star Wars. Fine, I thought. As I was driving her off at school this morning, I saw all these pretty little girls in their faries and princess outfits and, yes I hate the princess scene - I would love to see her in one of those outfits...at least once.
