(eta, making it so there are a lot more smart comments than pretty.) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/verzion-commerical-about-young-girls#post-1699892 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:35:56 +0000 Kimberlybee 1699892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: I do too! I always add "oh and she's calm, independent, and smart too!" :wink: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/verzion-commerical-about-young-girls#post-1699875 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:25:57 +0000 JessKas 1699875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So important! When people tell LO she's pretty I try to say to her "and smart, and funny, and strong". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/verzion-commerical-about-young-girls#post-1699859 Fri, 13 Jun 2014 18:13:08 +0000 Kimberlybee 1699859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this commercial!
