How to be a princess (according to a two year old)
"Swoan" Gigi says as we walk into her room. Gigi is wearing a green dress with leggings and dragging her baby doll on the floor.
As we enter her room she pulls out a box from her closet
"You are my royal servant" She says casually
"Ok" I reply
"So my lady" I say in a exaggerated tone "Why exactly must you change you outfit"
Gigi turns around and raises an eyebrow " Because those are the official rules of being a princess" She says as if it was obvious " You must always change your outfit especially before dinner"
"Ok" I say
Rule 1. You must always change your outfit, a dinner change is mandatory
I start to dig through her outfits. I pull out a pink tutu and a ruffled white shirt. Gigi comes over to look at it and frowns.
"That is day outfit" she says giving her hair an exaggerated flip " I need a dinner outfit"
"Ok" I say confused. I have no idea what a "dinner outfit" is or isn't. God I would make a horrible servant.
Rule 2. Don't wear a day outfit to dinner
Eventaully I find a dress that qualifies as a "dinner outfit". It is pink, poofy, and flowy with little silver sequins lining the edges. I would not be caught dead in it. Gigi gives it a twirl and giggles showing her baby teeth. I help her slip on pink plastic high heels with a picture of Cinderella on the front. Ahe then motions for me to help her put on her gloves. The white gloves are big and don't fit on her hands.
"But Gigi they don't fit"
"Swoan a princess must always wear her gloves" she replies
Rule 3. A princess must always wear gloves even if they don't fit
Gigi walks over to her shelve to grab a septer and then walks out the door her shoes clicking behind her.
" Swoan come on" Gigi says "time for you to make my royal crown"
TO BE CONTINUED....(mostly just because I am exahausted and need sleep)
