  Not until now have I noticed how similar little girls are. They each go through the same phase, which is funny. There's the "Everything Pink, Blue, or Purple" phase, where all they want is pink, blue, or purple things. Barbies, beddings, clothes, walls, ect. In this phase, which also lasts another phase or two, is the barbie or paper doll phase. Now, I remember when I was really little and would save up all my money to get a book of paper dolls. Weither it was Cinderella, Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, or Anastatia [which I personally loved the best], I loved paper dolls and bought them all. Just to put the paper clothes on the paper dolls, and make them walk and talk. I also, of course, had barbie dolls, though I was much more fascinated with the paper dolls.
So there's that phase. Then there's the "Fake Make-Up, Princess Shoes" phase, where you get very into the plastic princess shoes and those little girl make-up kits with the dark purple, blue, red eyeshadow, and bright pink, purple, blue, white, red lipstick, and you just can't forget the blush! Assortments of INSANE colors to dress your face up with.. or your hands.. or the walls, it was just fun to play with. Then there's the phase where they because the stereotyped 'sporty', 'tomboy', or 'girly'. Sporty is, of course, where sports are your main priority and something you'll love throughout your life. Tomboy is just.. being very hands on. Going outside all the time, playing, getting dirty, not wanting anything to do with pink or girly things. And then there's Girly. Where nice girly colors are your favorite, and you like fashion with the dresses and the skirts and the extras.
Not wanting to get dirty and just wanted to be very careful and lady-like. There are phases in between, obviously, but these are the main three, I think. My phases were [in order] Paper dolls, Barbies, Doll Houses, Princess Shoes, Fake Make-up, Britney Spears, Sporty, Rock, Dark Colors... you get the picture.
Very different. And then, once you're in your "double digits", the adults that knew you as a child, be it somebody related or friends of the family, love to bring up the silly things you did and if it's completely different than your personality, you crinkle your face and make 'ich' sounds, while secretly becoming nestolgic and wondering what other things you did as a little kid. Of course, these are only the female phases.
