Queen of Sheba

Hosanna is turning into quite the little Diva. She gravitates towards anything bling-bling or furry and positively loves high heels and boots. I don't know where she's getting it from because her mommy is definently a no-frills jeans and t-shirt kind of girl.  As I have thought about this, all of the Ethiopian little girls I know are little divas.  While discussing this with our friends the Cedillos, they commented that their theory is that all little Ethiopian girls have a bit of the Queen of Sheba in their blood.  I think they're right. 

 Hosanna loves wearing her furry boots and rocking her hair bows/flowers.  Every morning when we get her clothes on for the day she asks where her hair bow is.  She gets very upset during nap times when I take out her hair bow.  She also gets upset if when I tell her she cannot wear her boots that day.

 Yes, here she is again- drawn to the fur vest she saw on a rack at the store.  She cried when I told her we could not buy the furry vest.  I had a hard time containing the laughter.

 Hosanna's favorite dress-up clothes are her purple tu-tu, shiny sequined scarf from Central Asia, and her summer way-to-small for her head of hair hat.  No one had to teach this kid how to play dress-up.

 Hosanna is a major foodie.  What is hilarious to Justin and I is she can put away pretty much anything you put before her but she does it in such a clean, polite, and sweet manner.  She rarely makes a huge mess, usually chews with her mouth closed, and makes sure to brush her hands off afterwards if they are dirty.  She could eat all day if we would let her, so it's been a challenge to cut her off when we feel she's had her fill.  She's such an adorable little mess :)
