Annie and Princesses

Last week we went to see Cinderella, the musical. Annie talked about how the step-sisters were not very nice to Cinderella or each other. As they walked down the aisle, Annie had her lip turned down and nodded her head left and right showing she did not approve. (Sorry, I didn't capture the face on camera.) The days following, John decided to use Cinderella's step-sisters as an example. He would say, "Annie, you don't want to be whiny like those step-sisters. She responded, "They're not whiny, they're ANGRY!" Then John reminded her that she should share with Charlie, reminding her that it wasn't kind when the step-sisters did not share with Cinderella to which she responded, "Charlie is not sharing like the mean step-sisters."

This week we went to see Tangled which Annie thoroughly enjoyed. She said afterwards, "There were a very lot of mean parts in that movie." How do you explain to a 3 year old that there must be a villain to make the Disney love story come true. My mom was saying how she thought we might have to leave because Annie was getting a little scared of the villains, but how she hoped we could stay to the end. We watched it all the way to the "Happily Ever After."
When we got home, John asked, "So do you want to be like Rapunzel and become a princess?. Annie responded, "Nah, you would have to brush a lot of hair all the time."
Today Annie wanted to wear her Snow White dress to Catechisis. I asked her to wear a different dress and she agreed. When we got to Catechisis, her friend Avela had on a purple tutu princess dress. I told Annette, her teacher, our morning and she said that it was fine if they wanted dress up like princesses to come to Catechisis. I guess it would be appropriate since they are daughters of the King.
