princess pirate party.




when we found out we were having a baby girl i was never too keen on the whole "princess" idea. i like disney princesses , but the princess mentality is not particularly how i want my daughter's mindset to be. her first princess toy at age 3 months...a precious disney princess mirror...very cute...you push the button and it would talk to you. but then the princess says "you are so beautiful", "your hair looks perfect", "your eyes are magical." okay so now i know why us girls are so self-conscious of our appearance...we have been hearing these messages since we were 3-months old. i wish we could make a mirror saying "you are so smart", "you are so strong", "you are so thoughtful." i even catch myself looking at grace and telling her "you are just so pretty" then i quickly say "...and smart!" regardless, we couldn't miss out on the fantastic princess party a the library...it was magical..and the girls looked beautiful and smart!

They look so cute!! And smart!
I guess I was never into Disney that much, so I didn't know that most Disney princess stories are all about finding prince charming, getting married and living happily every after. I was shocked to find out even The Little Mermaid was desperate to marry. I really don't want Averi to think that is the main goal in life. But whatever! When the girls dress up like a princess it is adorable!
