I live in a magical kingdom, filled with a King, a Prince, and 2 Princesses! Sometimes I feel like a Queen, but more often I allow myself to think I'm Cinderella...
A couple of years ago, when our youngest was around 3, I was talking to our plumber on the front porch while she played. It had rained most of the night and morning, and the gutter was filled with rainwater. After a trip inside, she came back out decked out in a pair of yellow rain boots, a skirt, and an umbrella. Pretty soon the plumber started laughing outright, and I turned to look.... at my precious girl standing in the gutter, with water almost to her knees, bent over to look into the water. She had her skirt flipped up to her waist, showing everything!!! "Mom! LOOK! It's a WUUHM!"That would be worm. From then on out, she has earned from me the nickname Princess Puddlejumps. Because I then needed to name my other two children, I went to brainstorming. Hmmmmm.... Our oldest was easy: Princess Primps-a-lot. But our son? It couldn't be girly, but cute & accurate. I got it! Prince Frog Finder he is. But do you know what I *just* realized while typing this? The King has never been assigned a name. So, now I have to once again do some brainstorming...
And now I must go be Queen for a Day and check out what the youngest princess made in the backyard....
