In one day, Lilly was able to do what it’s taken me more than two years to do…get Helen Grace to dress up in a princess costume! Lilly hosted a girls only princess party for her third birthday at her castle, and I picked up a Rapunzel dress for her, hoping that would convince her to wear one. The party was at 1:00, so she fell asleep on the way there. She woke up a little grumpy and wasn’t interested in putting on the dress until she decorated a wand, but then the princess vibes were flowing. She happily got dressed and kept saying, “I Punzel!” Cinderella stopped by for a visit, a craft, a dance party, a story, and cake and ice cream. While HG still didn’t want to get too close, she was excited to see her arrive and sat very still and eagerly listened to her read a story. They even had a box of shoes, crowns, and boas, and Helen Grace was really struck by the shoes. She scooted around in ‘glass’ slippers five sizes too big for most of the party. She really handled herself like a champ at a wild party during her naptime, but by the end of the party at 3:00, I was eager to get her in the car and let her fall ASLEEP. Thanks, Lilly, for having a birthday and for getting my big girl into a princess costume!
