One of the things I look the most forward to with my kids is what their “favorites” will be. Scout’s favorite color is yellow (my same favorite as a child — it’s now white), and I get so excited about anything I give him that is yellow. When I choose clothes, toys or knick-knacks I try and choose yellow, and it really does make him so happy.
So Icka is just about the age to make her declaration. I will even tell you a hideous truth — I have tried to persuade her to love green. (Oprah’s favorite color, and a nice compliment to yellow.) But to my sadness, I think her favorite is pink. (I have never liked pink! I always thought it was too girly. Even when I was young. But at least it isn’t purple (specifically violet)– the very worst color in the rainbow — and Micah’s favorite. Or heaven forbid — RED. No red head ever loves the color red — even though I am only a strawberry blond.)
I’m still not totally sure, but I think her tantrums over not wearing her pink bathing suit, her insistence on having a pink bath color, and her pointing out everything in the world that is pink (or even light red), is a decent indication. Oh yeah — and the part where I ask her what her favorite color is, and she says, “PINK“.
Bummer.
But maybe she’ll be smarter in her choices of favorite animal, favorite number, and favorite parent.
(Just kidding on the last!)
