May I just begin by saying that I think many Mom's would agree with me when I say that Disney is the Devil. Their Princess packaging is so catchy that my child is obsessed, despite my best efforts to shield her from their primarily pink, perfectly-proportioned, and poignantly anti-normal girl faces. Yes, I ran out of p-words, but you get the point!
That being said, on our last trip to Target (thus the previous post), I wanted to buy Hailey some bedding for her new big girl bed. Shocker as to what she picked out...Princesses! As a compromise, I offered to buy her a Princess stool in exchange for buying bedding that was not adorned with Princesses but also was made out of something other than 100% Polyester. My sinister plan worked. She latched on to the stool. I was thrilled because she actually needed a stool to get on the potty all by herself. I'm a genius!
Yes, I was a genius until we got home. That's where my plan fell apart. Shockingly, she's not interested in using the stool for the potty. No. She wants to use the stool to run around the house flicking the lights on and off, reaching things on the counter, and otherwise making mischief at heights never before thought possible. Now, I know that she didn't intentionally trick me into buying the stool so that she could use it for these ulterior motives, but sometimes I just get the sense that she's outsmarted me again!

When you have a princess you cannot fight the facts. She knows of her royal-ness, and she will gravitate toward a celebration of that. (I hope I didn't start all of this with her "Tinkerbell" room in Hamburg, but I suspect I did!)
Love, Dad
Grandma would like to say its only just begun. You have lots more tricks and treats in store. You should know as the official queen of the family. Your little princess will get you every time. Isn't she just adorable grandma thinks so.
Love,
Your Mom
You guys sure are all talk. It'd be nice if family lived near by, then you might change your tune ... well, at least we might actually get to go to a movie sometime this decade.
And whose fault is that?!
Just talk?... I don't think so... Years of experience are speaking here...
There's no getting around it! Don't fight it!
Princesses Rule... now and forever.
Just wait for the years ahead! (LOL)
