Pretty, pretty princess
Raina firmly believes that there are certain things that girls do, and she wants to do them. These things include 1) wearing pink and purple all the time, 2) reading princess books, 3) wearing princess dresses, and 4) taking bubble baths. At least the bubble baths get her clean!
Raina had a "princess ball dress" that she wore to weddings and whatnot, and once she started to outgrow it, she wore it, unbuttoned, over her normal clothes. At a certain point, though, we couldn't squeeze her into it, and she was tremendously saddened. She started asking for a "Cinderella" dress so we eventually took her shopping to get one. (Yes, we braved the post-xmas shopping day specifically to find a princess dress.) We lucked out at Macy's. Not only was the brand called "Cinderella" -- I'm not kidding! -- but it came with a matching doll dress, which Raina immediately put on baby cow. She also acquired a tiara and clip-on earrings, to make the set complete. Now she's asking for glass slippers, but we're drawing the line!
