Savannah Guthrie chatted this morning on Today with the pageant family about what their response it to critics who say the costumes are too "over-the-top" in the pageants.

"To some people it's over-the-top, to us it's just what happens it's just normal," Maddy's mother Linsday Jackson explained.

Does she worry about the competitions being focused on appearance?

"I don't worry about that with her because I explain to her that we use the hair pieces to keep her hair from being, you know, processed, from being sprayed on," she said. "I haven't touched her hair today."
