Princesses II

Yesterday was not the first "Princess Party" Daughter had. Years ago, she was around 4, we had a "Princess Day". She invited all her friends, they dressed up, put flowers in their hair, had tea and cake and walked up and down the street to be admired by our neighbors. 

At one point I asked them if I they had special names, being royalty and all.

One little girl said she was Cinderella, anothers name was "Princess Violet", another girl wanted to be called "Princess Rose Blossom". We had a "Princess Sunflower" and a "Princess Pink Heart". 

When it was Daughter's turn to declare her name she looked around, held her head up high and announced: "My name is "Princess Gummi Bear"!"    

Birthday Party or One Afternoon with 11 Princesses

Take an old, old castle,

let 11 girls dress up as princesses,

  

add a bit of a history lesson,

and beg her Godmother and her brother to come along. You will have a very, very happy daughter. And one very, very exhaused mother.

Dogs

No matter where we go, she will insist on bringing a toy dog. I guess she thinks if she pesters us with it long enough we will get her a real dog.

And because this tactic hasn't worked so far, she has now decided to never leave the house without two of her stuffed dogs:

Metallica

Husband with Robert Trujillo

and James Hetfield

and Kirk Hammett

and a goofy Lars Ulrich

Birthday II

Over lunch, daughter and I were talking about her birthday, the day she was born and things in between. "What would you like to do when you are all grown up?" I then asked her.

"I will open an old dog's home," she answered.

Then we went off to pick up Oma and have cake and hot chocolate. And open more gifts.

Happy Birthday, Birthday Girl!

The evening before her birthday we told her, that in the morning she had to wait in bed till we would come and get her. Her birthday would start with us sitting on her bed, singing.  

Trying to speed things up she started talking to herself and coughing loudly very, very early in the morning.
