Chloe loves being on stage...and that is an understatement...
I made the mistake of letting her watch TLC's Toddlers and Tiaras...and eventually she finally asked...
"Mommy, can I be a pageant girl?"
That is really how it all started. In October our little town hosted the Apple Festival and this of course can't go with out saying there has to be an Apple Festival Queen. I decided this would be the perfect opportunity to try out a small home town pageant and see what it is like.
I didn't want to to a full glitz pageant..heck I didn't even know how to tell Chloe what to expect. I ended up getting her a simple red dress of Amazon, some white shoes from Kmart, and curled her hair all pretty in ringlets. No spray tan, flippers or wiglets here!
Chloe was beyond excited. Since she competed in the 2/3 year old division it gave her a step up b/c she was an older 3 yearold. She didn't want me to help her on stage..infact she walked and did all her movements and made all her points on her own.
Needless to say...she won- Apple Festival Queen 2012- and we were so proud!
In December, she competed again in a Christmas Pageant and won....Most Beautiful, Best Dressed, Most photogenic and we were thrilled! Chloe loves the stage and being on it! Of course I will not be "one of those pageant moms!" but as long as Chloe asks to do a Pageant we will.
