"Yesterday JD and I tried out a new mommy-and-me class at a place called The Little Gym. I am thinking of signing us for the summer session. When the class started, the instructor went around the room and asked everyone to introduce themselves and their kids and to say something cool about their kid. I introduced myself as &amp;quot;Chrissy&amp;quot; and JD as &amp;quot;Jack&amp;quot; and revealed that JD recently started treating the couch like a trampoline and that it&amp;#x27;s freaking me out because I think he is going to crack his head open on the hardwood floor if he falls. And I don&amp;#x27;t let him jump on the couch, but he&amp;#x27;s sneaky-sneaky and quick and manages to get a few good jumps in regardless. Everyone laughed. The next mom said her daughter loves manicures and pedicures--then had her daughter flash her red fingernails and toes for the class to see. Cute. And it got me thinking about the grown-up things we force upon (not sure if that&amp;#x27;s the right word, but bear with me) our kids. Like...Did you see this picture of little Kingston? Allegedly, my personal mommy icon, Miss Gwen, bleached his hair. Is that going too far? I think he looks adorable, and I definitely do spike up JD&amp;#x27;s hair with baby goop now and then, but I can honestly say I wouldn&amp;#x27;t bleach his hair out. Bleach is a pregnancy no-no. Isn&amp;#x27;t it a toddler no-no then, too? If I had a baby girl, I could see myself painting her toenails with a Q-tip. What about earrings? I didn&amp;#x27;t get my ears pierced until I was 21! But I&amp;#x27;ve seen infants with little studs and I think it&amp;#x27;s sweet. And forget about rompers--our babies have the option of wearing skinny jeans now. Let&amp;#x27;s discuss. What do you think is going too far when it comes to a baby&amp;#x27;s hair, beauty and fashion? Full disclosure: I forced JD to wear a Rolling Stones T-shirt and boot-cut jeans today.
