Last weekend you were invited to a new friend's, Laoise, 4th birthday party. It was a Disney princess party with real-life people dressed up as Cinderella and Jasmine. You were very shy at first and sat in Mommy's lap while they sang a couple songs and tried to get everyone to twirl and curtsey. A couple things of note:
1. You've never seen Alladin, and therefore had no idea who Jasmine was. You asked, "Why is that girl's tummy showing?" I didn't really know how to respond...That's how they dress in the Middle East...definitely not true.
2. You were all dressed up in a fancy dress and even wore your Glenda the Good Witch tiara, but most of the other girls had play-princess dresses on. Laoise's mom asked you if you wanted to put on a Tinkerbell dress and you immediately said, "Yes!" As we were putting it on, you noticed there was little medal with a picture on it. You thought it was Cinderella. She was blonde and pretty. I told you.. "No, that's Tinkerbell." Then I immediately realized you had never seen Peter Pan or Tinkerbell, both Disney movies. You've only seen the Mary Martin play - Peter Pan, where Tinkerbell is just a light. This came up again when the Princesses were painting Tinkerbell on your hand. You said, "That's not Tinkerbell. He's a light." I think you thought Tinkerbell was a boy too! The whole thing was pretty funny, and of course the Disney princesses recommended you see the movies. We'll see...
The best part of the party was the end when Laoise's mom let you borrow/take home the Cinderella dress-up dress. You've come home almost every day from school this week, and put it on with some form "glass" slippers.
Love you,
Mama
P.S. You still think Jasmine's tummy should be covered up. :)
