to be a princess

 

It does not take any outside influence



It does not take indoctrination



It needs no instruction



IN the heart of every little girl there is a princess.






I don't think we ever really explained to Eiley what a princess was, but in the last few months she has decided that she is one and wants to dress like one at every opportunity. I think this is rather funny because she owns no princess movies ( has no idea who Belle, Snow White or Cinderella are)has no princess books.

On a small tangent maybe this shows the brilliance of Disney marketing. You don't even need to see the movie and your child still wants the stuff ( I don't know whether this is brilliant or incredibly scary)



Anyhow without going to deep into the Big Brother Disney rant, I am touched by the princess in my house. She is God's daughter and even at a young age we can let her know that. The fairy tale of her life has just begun and like every tale there will be dragons ( right now it is a horrible cough that kept us up literally ALL night....sigh), but through it all the King is watching out for her, loving her and I get to be his handmaiden, shepherding and loving my little one, reminding her who she is because of who He is.


And sometimes princesses don't have to wear ballgowns... undies over jeans makes a statement too.
