Celebrating National Princess Week

At dinner every evening, we go around the table and ask everyone how their day was. My daughter said they talked about what they wanted to be when they grew up. Here is how the conversation went:



Me: "So what did you say you wanted to be?"
SweetPea: "I want to be a princess when I grow up."
Me: "Oh, is that so."
SweetPea: "Yes, because they wear pretty dresses."
Me: "Well, you know to be a princess you have to be really smart and make sure you finish all of our schooling. You need to know how to be a ruler. You also need to be kind to others and make sure you share. You also have to have courage for those times when it can get scary."
SweetPea: "It's a big job being a princess."

It really is. I'm honestly not surprised by my daughter's response. She loves all things princesses. We even had a Disney Princess party when she turned 5.
Did you know this week was National Princess Week?

When your child is sick you feel helpless. You wish you were the one who was sick because they just don't understand and you just want them to feel better. At least that's how I feel and of course I inevitably get it too, it's the cycle of sickness. My children thankfully haven't been sick very often. But when one gets sick, we all do...
 
 
 
I think the most memorable time was when went on our yearly family vacation a few years ago.
