In this photo Emily is reading stories to all of her stuffed friends. You can't tell really well from the photo, but the purple blanket is the top of a stack of about 8 other blankets we spread out on top of the bed to make it "really pretty". The princess border on the wall was used as a bribe to get her to go to bed by herself in her own bed. She had to do it for three nights in a row to get to put it up on the wall, which she did. We hoped that it would teach her that she indeed could go to bed on her own and it wasn't scary or dangerous, but alas, after the border went up, the old habits continued. So much for bribery.

Our Little Princess
Emily is soooo in love with all things princess, especially any recognizable Disney princess character. We gave in and bought another princess costume for Halloween and have been hiding it from her because the first words out of her mouth when she wakes up in the morning or when she comes home are "can I wear my princess dress?" We've been letting her wear her pink dress from last year whenever she wants (at home) and it is a LOT. She imagines up her little fairy tale land and will choose to be Aurora or Jasmine for the day and we MUST call her by that name. Daddy has been renamed Aladdin for the last week or two, and I sometimes get to be Cinderella or Belle. After I pick her up and drive home, if Kevin is standing out in front of the house when we get home she will excitedly yell "Aladdin!"
