See this is Zoe all over. She is very much a princess who has adventures. But Maria? Not so much. She is all about the glam and glitz and getting dressed up and being romanced by a prince and fairytale nonsense. I mean that is ALL it is for her. She adores Hannah Montana because to Maria, she is a modern day princess. Luci adores her because she is enamored of the idea of singing and dancing on a stage. Maria adores her because she gets to wear awesome clothes and makeup and jewelry and boys like her. Seriously! This is what is important to Maria. I need to get over my annoyance about it, because she has come by it completely and utterly naturally. This child didn't watch ANY TV for the first three years of her life and then was so sheltered from it thereafter that she didn't know what a commercial was until she was six. And I've read them every kind of book imaginable. So she has been exposed to it all. This is just who she is.....

And yes to the Paper Bag Princess. Zoe loves that book. I'll have to look at Princess Grace. We recently fell in love with the book Princess are Not Quitters and all three of them LOVE that one. It is about Princesses who are bored being Princesses and trade places with servants and discover how awful life is for the servants and decide to even things out a bit. It is very cute.
