File this one under Imagination In Overdrive!

I've posted a lot about my daughter's imagination.  Just when I think I've heard the funniest thing from her, she surprises me.

It's not secret that she LOVES Disney Princesses.  Just about every day, she pretends to be one of the DP's and has this whole storyline that he replays, sometimes ad naseum. 

Today, she was in her blue princess gown, and tells me she just got married to Prince Eric.  Then she tells me that she is moving to the beach but not into my house on the beach but we can live next door.  Then...well I'll just post what I put on my Facebook status today.

"Is currently in a house with a Princess in a blue gown, who was recently married to Prince Eric that is being pulled through the sky by Rudolph who is taking us to the beach to look for a house that is colored 1/2 blue, 1/2 purple and 1/2 yellow."

followed by:

" ‎...and I just became a Grandmother to Daisy who was born because The Princess wished on the Wishing Crown to have a baby the same day she got married and viola (her new favorite word to say), Daisy arrived. "Now remember mom, I get to name her because she is my baby."

There is so much more of the conversation I'm leaving out so I guess it's the cause of "Guess you had to be there" to see the humor in it but some days she is just pure entertainment!  Love this little girl. :o)

News From The Pool

That is one of E's favorite games to play...in the pool of course.  She pretends to be a reporter and she interviews me because she heard that my "daughter" gave me a "Best Mom In The World" award.  She brings her camera lady and asks me questions about my award, but mostly about my "daughter."  Have I mentioned before how I LOVE her imagination?

So this got met thinking that as long as it is pool season, I'll post some of the things E does in the pool in a "News From The Pool" post. Look for more to come.

Hats Are Cool

…and keep you cool.  The Princess has always liked wearing hats.  As a baby, I never had a problem keeping a hat…or sunglasses on her.
I was shopping online the other day and saw a sale mentioned.   I went to the site and found this great sun hat, marked down from $40 to $14.

She can be such a ham (just like her mommy) when it comes to taking her picture.

Here it is from the side so you can see more of it.

Now we just need to go to the beach so she can wear it! 

I Read About Him In Books........

The Princess has such an imagination.  I've said it before, I know.  She really does think she is going to marry a prince.  Not a great guy who treats her well and loves and adores her.  No, a REAL prince. 

Today, we were playing card games and while I was shuffling, she was looking out the window.  She got real quiet and said "Mom, can I sing you a song?"   I said "Sure."   I wish I had a tape recorder.  She sang the most meloncholy song about wishing her prince would come see her.   I don't remember much of the song, but I do remember a part where she says "I read about him in books, I see him on tv, now I wish he would come to see me in real life so we can get married."

I Want To Be A Jungle Explorer

One of E's favorite shows is "Imagination Movers" on the Disney Channel.  If you haven't heard of it, it is the American version of The Wiggles--four guys who sing and dance, and in this case, solve problems for their customers who visit their warehouse.  The Princess often envisions herself marrying one of The Movers.  She gets all dressed up in her angel costume and tells me "I'm getting married to Mover Scott...no wait Mover Dave...no I think it's Mover Rich."  I think she needs to wait until she is really sure! LOL  But I digress.....

Wanna Party?

The Princess LOVES to throw parties. Just about every day she has a party for someone: for her dad, for me, for her dolls, or for her stuffed animals. She loves to give lots of presents (toys from her room), and has food and cake and ice cream. Sometimes, she even dresses up in her princess gowns...today was one of those days:




Today, E had blankets on the floor with our food all layed out. She had presents in baskets covered with blankets (wrapping) and we had a good ole time opening gifts and playing with them. I can't think of a better way to spend my day. :o)

Princess E

My MIL (mother-in-law) sent E a treasure chest with three princess dress-up outfits. Dressing up as royalty is one of E's favorite things to do. Today, she is wearing her purple princess dress, outfitted in her tiara and jewels. She really is a girly, girl. Daddy is definitely going to need another job to keep this Princess in clothes and jewels. :o)
