I was just informed that my daughter is no longer living in our house.
In fact, I also just learned that I am no longer living in my house either.
And DH? He's outta here too.
We've all been replaced... by princesses.
As I was sitting down at the computer desk to write a post this morning (and truly, 
having an awful case of writer's block), G came up to me clad in what has now been her standard in-house uniform: a yellow tutu and flower headdress I wore in my first ballet recital in 1986 and a pair of Cinderella glass slippers I bought for $3 at a consignment sale. When I asked her how she was doing, she replied:
She went on to tell me that I am not mommy; I am Princess Ariel. Daddy is not daddy; he is Princess Jasmine. Our dog? She's Snow White.
G will no longer answer to her given name -- unless I preface it with the word "Princess." When DH isn't a princess, he's (naturally) prince charming, the man Princess Sleeping Beauty (aka my daughter) is going to marry. G told me that once they get married -- which to her means they dance, because that is how Disney seems to symbolize the joining of two souls in holy matrimony -- that I will have to sleep in her room while she sleeps in mine; she also plans to evict me from my seat at the foot of the kitchen table. No word yet on whether I'll have to give up my wedding ring (I hope not, because right now it is stuck on my swollen fingers -- thanks pregnancy!).
What G doesn't realize is that while she may be a princess, I am definitely a Queen... hello? the reigning Queen of England and I share a first name; that is no coincidence! And no one is evicting this Queen from her castle!

Hilarious! I love that outfit ... she's taking after her fashionista mama. ;)
Love this :) too cute...love their little imaginations :)
Tricia, if that's what you remember of my fashion, then it's no wonder I didn't have many boyfriends in high school!!!

Very funny. I love the imagination of children. They often put us in our place and also put us in stitches.
Hang in there and don't let her throw you out.
She doesn't know it but she got the crown from her mom. She can lose it the same way.
Blessings to you and yours.

That is totally adorable!
For a while my youngest son would dress up in his tiger costume from halloween, he would roar and insisted on sleeping and eating on the floor, I had to pet him and talk to him like he was my pet tiger :)
Those were the days!
The outfit is too cute! I would definitely call her princess wearing that.
Adorable...
And better to be the Queen than to be the monkey...
