The picture in my previous post is of Moon Baby on her third birthday. We had her party at Chuck E Cheese, and the entire Moon family was there. Moon Baby wanted more than anything to have a Cinderella Dress, and so as you can see, a Cinderella Dress she got!

Picture if you will, Moon Baby sitting atop a table, covered in pizza, drinks and birthday cake,(the table that is) and opening her presents one by one. As she nears the end, the sad little disappointed look on her face is enough to make any mother want to cry. As she opens the last gift, her face lights up with excitement. She can not control herself. Ahhh yes! The Cinderella dress, complete with magic wand, princess crown and shoes 3 sizes too big, was a definate hit! So much so, that as soon as Moon Baby opened the package, she jumped up on the table and started stripping her clothes off! There was no stopping her!

And as if that wasnt enough. Once the sacred dress was on, she was off. Off the table and out of the party room. Mommy chasing closley behind. Every now and then, she paused to look behind her to see if I was still there. Then a scream at the top of her lungs, NOOOOOOOO, NOOOOOOOO!!!! And she was running again, as fast as her princess shoes would carry her. And she cried like the world had come to an end once she was caught! She just did not want to take off that darn dress! It was like she really thought without the dress she would turn into a pumpkin!

Well, here we are, a year later. Moon Baby will be turning 4 next month, and unfortunatley she has grown out of the dress. She was very very upset when Mommy explained to her that the dress would go to another little girl who would love it as much as she did. So this year, Mommy got a little creative!

Seeings how it tis the season for princess costumes, I went to the Disney Store and bought every princess costume they had, 1-2 sizes too big! And of course, a princess chest to keep them all in. She will even have a pair of shoes for every costume! As if Cinderella wasnt enough. Now we will have, Cinderella, Ariel, Sleeping Beauty, Belle, Snow White, and Pocahantas. I may have gone a little overboard, but... Moon Baby just loves to dress up! I just couldnt help myself!

And to avoid anymore unnecessary table dances and stip teases, I have decided to save the princess costumes until Christmas. Good thinking on my part I think!!!!

She'll be tickled pink! My daughter was never much into playing dress up & I kinda feel like I'm missing out.

Ahh...My twins (almost 4) love to play dress up, and they really love the princess dresses! Sometimes this presents a bit of a financial problem, considering there are two of them, the same size, and that means double the amount that they cost! But, we have wands, the plastic high heels, tiaras, bracelets, necklaces, you name it, and if it has anything to do with dress up, they have it!
Thank Goodness we have a big family who likes to buy Christmas presents, because thats where they acquire a lot of their stuff like that!
