Princess Sleeps

Faith has been so into the princess thing since her birthday in February when her Aunt Cheryl gifted her with her most precious possessions - a crown, fancy shoes, a princess skirt, wand, jewelry and purse. She has branched out to wearing other things, but we literally have days and days where she wears a tutu and crown everywhere she goes (and yes, that includes the bathroom, shopping at Target, going to the library - I mean everywhere). If she wasn't so darn cute, we would never get away with it!! Everywhere we go, we leave people smiling. I guess that's not such a bad thing, is it.

As Mike says, she marches to the sound of her own drummer. So here is a picture of the princess going to sleep for the night. She is unable to go to sleep without the skirt on. Do you know how difficult it is to wrestle a tutu off a 3 year old while asleep? She also requires two green pillows to sleep on (and yes, they must be the green ones), her pink blanket (with the soft side turned up only), and her "Mama" bear. Her "Mama" bear is the first lovey she attached to, and Faith does not usually put her comfort fingers in her mouth unless she is holding Mama bear. She has a newer "Baby" bear (so named by Faith after many changes) that matches Mama bear. Faith can instantly tell them apart, and will reject Baby bear to sleep with (even while she is asleep). Baby bear was bought as an alternate, but obviously will never replace Mama. On this evening she relented and took off her shoes before bed. As you can see, her "sparkly" shoes are a bit worn down, no sparkles left on the toes they've been worn so much.

Like I said, too darn cute!
