After three days of the princess/fairy costume I could see that this phase wasn’t going away anytime soon. If you can’t beat them, join them. So I went out and bought a second dress that Riley thought of as a ‘princess dress’, just for the sake of variety.
And I’m beginning to wonder about the kind of messages I give her during this phase. Overthinking? Quite possibly, that’s like my job. But I worry about describing princesses in a purely physical way ‘pretty’, or the idea that princesses only wear fancy dresses. So yesterday, after much, much cajoling, I convinced the little miss that Princesses do in fact wear pants and long-sleeved t-shirts, relying on the flower on the top and the ribbon on the pants to prove my point.
But beside my slightly neurotic fear of princesses and fairies, it is amazing to see her start to decide what she wants to wear. So grown up!
My name is Zoey.
