It Begins

At Target yesterday, I was buying Lucia some socks when she announced loudly, “I WANT A PRETTY DRESS. A PRINCESS DRESS.”

I bought her a ruffly $5 skirt, which she is wearing today over her pants. “I’m a princess! I’m a ballerina!” she said this morning.

I felt the first stirrings of a long-dreaded princess phase today. But it’s hard to sustain that dread when that ruffly skirt, and Lucia’s happy prancing, are so cute…
