Rianne loves being a princess. She loves wearing a princess dress that I bought her, sometimes for three straight days. It did need quite a skill of convincing for her to take it off so I could put it in the wash. She likes wearing anything princess, such as crown, cape, sparkly shoes and of course sparkly dresses, the puffier - the better.
She is quite an artistic girl too. She likes to make crowns from paper, decorating them and wearing them like princesses do.
She came down from upstairs with this baby blanket once and asked me to make a cape out of it for her. She proudly paraded her outfit at Tyrone Mall play area that day. I saw many smiles and some smirks but I didn't care very much. All I cared about was that Rianne was clearly happy and proud of how she looked that day. To me she definitely was and is always will be a real princess.
I try to always remind them that what is more important, being princess, than having a crown and puffy dresses is what is inside their heart and character. She twirled around and made a princess bow to express her agreement as she said yes.
