With all of our summer adventures we have found the girls fall asleep if we tell them a story, a princess story.
At the Lake House this weekend Daddy told them a beautiful story about turning into a princess. The girls listened with a quiet intensity that was so cute. Daddy went on to tell them, they too, could turn into a princess if they got some sleep.
Reagan woke on Saturday morning, her eyes still filled with sleep, she turned to me, and in her raspy, whispering, munchkin morning voice she said,
'mommy, did I turn into a princess?' I sat up and looked at her, had her move her head left, then right. I asked her to stand up and twirl around.
'Yes, yes I think you did! How are you princess Reagan?'
'I have to go tell Daddy!!' She ran into the other room and asked him the same question. For the rest of the day it was Princess Aubrey and Reagan. When we came home, I had a surprise waiting for them. The princess stories always start with...
Up in the tallest tower of the tallest castle...
The twin princesses had new princess tents on their beds. A special place to sleep and dream of all things pink and purple. They were anxious to climb the tower and see their new beds. Throughout the day on Sunday they wanted to climb up the tower stairs and be a princess for a little while. I was so adorable to see how Reagan would look herself over looking for her gown, sparkly shoes and long gloves. We have our tutu's from Uncle Moo so it was important for the princesses to dress like one.
The jester was here too! Edie was having fun dancing with the twin princesses. She can really keep up with them!
