Last night, our five year old is dancing, ballet style, around the house all dressed up in her princess finery blessing everything in sight with the treasured Princess Wand. Prancing on up to her 13 year old brother in the kitchen doing his Cinderella-man dish-duty, she says, "Lean down, I'm going to turn you into a Sugarplum-fairy man."
Trying hard to divert this particular personality choice from attacking his manhood, he suggests, "Nah, just turn me into a carrot."
"A CARROT!!!! There are NO carrots in fairy-tales!!" Princess Charissa informs the poor boy, obviously lacking in fairy tale etiquette.

Just before I started typing this, little Princess woke up and was cuddling on my lap when she spied a picture of President Lincoln here on the desk. "Hey, we met him last week!" Referring to a field trip to Forest Lawn for a presentation that they call A Visit with the Great Presidents. We got to "meet" 3 former presidents. The next words out of her mouth really threw Mom for a loop, "And, the other was a toy-maker!"
Did you figure it out??
We met President Theodore Roosevelt and he was holding a Teddy Bear and explained to us about a toy manufacturer developing the little bear and dubbing it Teddy Bear in honor of him!

Hi, this is the first time I've ever read your blog. I found it off Brooke's blog. Sounds like your little girl is absolutely PRECIOUS! I'll be back to read more!
I just found your blog off Christine's. All three of our children are adopted also, and we're waiting for a sister for our nearly three-year old princess. Your daughter sounds adorable.
