Why does a five year old get to say what she wears? Why does she get to wear what the older girls wear? Granted bonnets are old fashioned but a kerchief tied under her chin would keep it in place and not be a distraction and much more age appropriate.
I never said it was the older girls, virtually all the other little girls there wear mantillas. It's an assimilation thing, rather than a disobedience thing. I'm willing to accommodate such a request if it inspires a desire to be engaged with the Faith. I'm working with embers here, I'm not blessed with a full hearth like many of you, after all.

I've found one on
traditionalcatholicpublishing.com that looks like it might be helpful for her, when she's ready. They've got a bunch of books I've been itching to buy for her and her siblings.
For context, I'm halfway through another 54-day novena for the conversion of my wife, and this relent to the will of my daughter is the biggest break I've seen in her over the past 4 years. So I'm taking subtle steps here so not to "spook her" and undo any of the work of those graces, so to speak.
