Maria made a birthday list today. Does this list say it all about this kid or what?

iPod/mp3 player, pink
speakers/dock
Hannah Montana; One In A Million movie
Barbie movies: Mariposa, Island Princess, Mermaidia
Groovy girls
My Little Ponies
Tooth fairy bag
Matching girl/doll outfits for Josephina (her American Girl doll)
Only Hearts Club dolls
Barbie/Disney Princess doll dresses
Body glitter, lip gloss, fingernail polish
Disney Prince dolls (she discovered these at the Disney Store recently), specifically the Beast if available.

I think this kid needs to branch out a bit. All of life is about pink and princesses and doll play. I cannot get her interested in ANYTHING else. Talk about a one track mind. *sigh*

You've read The Paper Bag Princess, right? (Well, I'm pretty sure YOU have, but to the girlies?) Hannah and I also recently read Princess Grace by Mary Hoffman, in which Grace wonders what the heck a princess does, anyway, and decided that she would rather be the kind of princess who had adventures.

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.

Ooh! I will definitely have to get Princess are Not Quitters for Hannah. It sounds right up her alley. :)

We're still looking for a (little kids') biography of a princess who is still alive. Maybe someday Hannah will just write one. Heh.
