"I'M the PRINCESS!"

If I had a dollar for every time I heard that out of my 2 year olds mouth, I'd be a rich lady. I have no idea where she got this notion. Though we adore our little girls, we don't necessarily adorn them with tiaras and lace the way some little girls parents do. Of course, you'll see the occasional bow in my daughter's hair, that is true. But nothing ostentatious.

Nevertheless, somewhere along the way, my 2 year old decided that she's 'the princess!' and it's something she likes to remind us throughout the day. Lately, she's been demanding to wear fancy costume gowns when we dress in the morning. And there she goes, about her day, dressed like Cinderella- just relaxing and reading books like any princess would do, natch!



And if I don't give in to her "diva" demands to wear a gown- I will usually give in and allow her to wear a comfortable dress. Though generally she insists on tights to compliment her outfit...



Different day... different dress.



I think I can still find a smidgen of "tomboy" somewhere inside there (notice playing trucks with Dad). But even if she's going to play with cars, she's not about to do so without a dress on!



And for those rare occasions I deny her a dress, believe me- she will FIND a way to dress up and "princess-ize" her outfit...



Because, there is just no mistaking it...

She's the Princess!
