Princesses & Festivals

A funny story from Mom...

Noelle really enjoys her princess things as everybody knows. Well, Thursday night after bath time she wouldn't get into her pajamas for Aunt Kris or Grandma... she put her pink princess dress back on (it was her Easter dress) to sleep in. Eventually she got out of her bed to put her tiara on too, but Grandma convinced ehr it might get broken so that got put up. When I woke her up on Friday morning she had her dress and princess shoes on sleeping. And then she only wanted to wear it to daycare. There was no getting her to change. So I gave in and let her wear it. She was definitely trying to play the part. She was blowing kisses to everybody and greeting her friends at the door. I eventually convinced her she couldn't wear it for a third day on Saturday because it needed cleaned... but boy does she have fun being a princess. Livia has learned to play the part of the fairy godmother for Noelle. She can say "Bibidi Bobidi Boo" now.

But the real fun of Saturday ended up being Assumption Church's festival. It's semi tradition to go to it since that's the school we went to as kids... we took Noelle last year and she loved it. So we went back this year. Noelle enjoyed getting her hands painted rather than her face ;-) She rode the train, mini Whip, and loved the bouncy castle. One of the highlights had to be running into some of her daycare friends... what 3 year olds converse about is funny. It was all about the shiny whistle Noelle won at the duck pond. Watching the kids light up with the games, prizes, and fun is just well... fun.

Noelle also got her hair cut really for the first time. I only had a few inches taken off the back of it... but still. She never had her hair cut before and I miss her little curls at the end ;)
