The real sleeping beauty

It has always been her older sister, Ella that was the princess. Since Ella was 2 all she wanted to do was wear princess costumes. But now at 3 1/2 Madeleine has become obsessed with these princess costumes. It definately has to do with the new Cinderella movie we just bought them. The two girls will act out the scenes of the movie - so cute. If no one agrees to be the step mother (which happens often!) they pretend that they are the birds and mice that help Cinderella get her dress ready. I love it because this keeps them busy for a very long time. But...this post really is about Sleeping Beauty. I thought Madeleine was in her room playing dress up. When I went to get her for dinner, this is how I found her. You can't tell but she's asleep on the floor right next to her bed in her full get-up. Glass slippers and all! She came to dinner...it wasn't pretty. Then an hour later we put her to bed. Needless to say she wasn't tired so spent the next couple of hours putting on an aray of princess costumes very secretly. I didn't even find out until I heard the velcro rip 2 1/2 hours after I put her to bed. Ha! Busted! I couldn't resist this picture...she is so sweet while she sleeps. A spitfire while she's awake!
