Princess is as Princess Does
A few days ago, we tried to dress Lucy in this darling halter top and matching shorts. She collapsed in a screaming heap, yelling, "NOOO! NOOOO!" Good lord, who doesn't love madras plaid? We finally made out the source of her agony: "NOOOO! PRINCESSES ONLY WEAR DRESSES!!!"
Princesses only wear dresses. Jason explained that princesses wear whatever they want, er...need to wear. I told her being a princess is about what you are on the inside, not what your wear on the outside (a take on my grandmama's warning that "pretty is as pretty does"). She conceded, snotty, red-faced and well-dressed.

Dude, I can't believe you spent $70 on an outfit - you're fancy! (I mean, it's beyond cute and maybe, hopefully, it can come to live at our house someday?!) I think a princess would DEFINITELY wear that. What if we gussy it up with one of those Disney princess head do-dahs? OR, what if we start making those little do-dahs with women who have made a positive impact on the world, like Rosa Parks and Mother Theresa and Coco Chanel? We could resin them!
