Princess Lessons with Annie

Annie's become obsessed with all things Princesses. I don't know why it happens around this age, seemingly without any real effort or influence on the part of anyone else. (She was talking about Cinderella months before she ever saw a single Princess movie). It's almost like sometime during this last year all the girls her age became obsessed with Disney Princesses and all the boys became "Cars" fanatics.

Despite our buying her a beautiful new Princess bed (complete with canopy and new Princess bedding), she used the following excuse for not wanting to go to sleep the other night:
"I can't sleep in there! I don't have a Princess-y enough room!"

So, we did buy some wall vinyl things that have princess-type-stuff on them at the Dollar Store the other day, not that she won't just use a new non-sleeping excuse, but at least her room is a tad more 'princess-y'. Which is apparently vitally important when you're three.

Also, while on our Dollar Store run, we also bought this two pack of tiaras . . . one 'big girl' one, and one baby headband one. Annie loves them . . . I still can't believe it was a dollar for both of these. Here her and Annie are wearing them today:

Annie telling me about how princesses act:

(And she's harder to understand here that normal . . . she's been on a weird 'baby talk' kick. It's mildly obnoxious.)

I think this coming year is the Strawberry Shortcake and High School Musical year. We're looking, um, forward to it, I guess.
