One of my kids is really into princesses. She has loved them since she was 3, and we own a ton of princess things. You'd be surprised how much princess gear there is out there. Besides the obvious (dress ups and clothes), we have nail polish, hair stuff, shoes, sheets, etc. You name it, we probably have it. We even "met" and had lunch with the Disney princesses last time we went to Disneyland, so in her mind that makes them real people.

So, needless to say, she is ecstatic over the British Royal wedding on Friday. Living out West, it will come on at 3:30 AM our time, and she somehow managed to convince her dad that she can get up to watch it (I made him agree to get up with her). Princess Catherine is all she's been talking about for the last week or so. I blame myself, because I'm the one who told her about the wedding and that the person would become a real princess after she married a prince. She thinks this is about the coolest thing ever and says that her new goal in life is to grow up and be a princess. We need to work on that one. Anyhow, she asked me the cutest thing the other day- she asked if Princess Kate was going to hang out with Cinderella and Snow White and all the other princesses. I didn't have a heart to mention that those are fake princesses.
