Carmela has a fondness for pretty things. She likes to imitate Mama when Mama does her makeup, taking one of Mama's makeup brushes and swirling it around her face and in her hair. She pretends to curl her eyelashes with Mama's eyelash curler, and she pretends to rub deoderant under her arms. Carmela has a pretty beaded clutch with a chain strap that she daintily holds on her arm, and she loves to wear a scarf around her neck and prance around the house. She also loves jewelry. She calls Mama's necklaces "necky," and says "pee," for "pretty." If Mama wears dangly earrings, Carmela reaches for them and tries to dangle them on her own ears.
So what a treat it was when Aunt Tauni got Carmela her very own "necky" for Chanukah!! It's very pretty (pearls are so classic!), and Carmela puffed her chest out, held her shoulders back, and walked around the living and dining room for quite some time, swaying and showing off her very own jewelry. (The reason she looks cranky in some of the pictures is that as much as she loves jewelry, she loves the camera, and she was upset with Mama for not giving it to her when she said she wanted it.) Thanks, Aunt Tauni!
