So a few weeks ago we got the call that Millie was chosen to be one of the models for the company's new "Tiny TOMS" line. Since she wears TOMS shoes pretty much nonstop, I figured this would be a fun and easy adventure. What I didn't know was that the other three kids in the photo shoot were 'pros'. This came to light when I signed a form allowing TOMS to release photos to me for Millie's portfolio. If by 'portfolio' they meant the basket of photo albums under the coffee table, then sure...we'll take 'em! Next, one of the other moms asked me how often Millie 'worked'. Ummm. Well. Not often. She's 2. Anyway, I was extra thankful that Millie was SOOO well behaved and cooperative since she was the amateur of the bunch.
After a few days of discussions about the appropriateness of skinny jeans for 2 year olds (I still don't know if they are right or wrong, but they were pretty cute on her so we just went with it), we loaded her up with a sugar-filled orange juice box and set her loose. She was her adorable self -- engaging with the other kids, polite with the TOMS staff, accepting of the camera in her face and at her feet, and just a great kid.
To complete the star studded day, we met both the founder of TOMS and all three members of Hansen (yes, the Mmm-Bop Hansens) while we were at the HQ. Who knows how or if any of these photos will turn out, but we can chalk it up to a super-fun LA day. And if it does happen to work, you might be seeing Mils' little tootsies all over the place!
Kid-sized staging area. Check out the wardrobe and snack table stocked with goldfish and grapes!
Si is looking pretty sporty in his own TOMS.
