    Rosie Posie….Bucket of Worms?

    Today my 3rd Princess…Princess R…turned 3 years old. She acts a whole lot older with her clear vocabulary, and very grown up facial expressions. She can give a stink eye like none other, and she never gives up when she wants something badly.

    Awhile ago, I must have said this to her, but I called out one day “Rosie…Posie”, and she responded in a sly little voice “Bucket of Worms…*giggle giggle*”

    The truth: she is my bucket of worms – my squishy, sometimes gross, fish catching bucket of worms.

    Dear Princess R,

    You have always loved the camera, but don’t always feel like smiling for it. These days you prefer to smile and run away from the camera in hopes I’ll chase you down with it. 

    In your first year and a half of life you were prone to enjoy odd places, and loved getting into the most trouble you could find

    That eye wound gave me a good fright, but all turned out well.

    In your second year, you were determined to become one of the big girls, and refused to let your sisters leave you behind. Although sometimes that was difficult since they are closer in age, for the most part I get to witness beautiful moments of sisterly love. 

     
    Shortly after you turned 2 you were no longer my baby, but became a big sister.  You stepped up to the plate, and showed me that you knew how to be a big sister. But you continued to be my bucket of worms as I recently watched you use brother as your horse but also made sure to share your applesauce when he was hungry.

      Happy Birthday Princess.  I can’t wait to see what the coming years will bring as you continue to shine with your very unique personality.  Come fall it will just be you, Prince L and I at home. I have adventures planned for the 3 of us!

    I love you baby girl!

    Love, Mom.

    Princess R’s only request for her birthday was an M&M cake. I was happy to oblige, but learned something in the process.
    Don’t mix the M&M’s into the batter. The will sink to the bottom, and stick to the pan. Of course cupcake liners would have worked just fine, I didn’t use those either. Next time I’ll try topping the batter with M&M’s just before cooking.

    Tuesday we spend the day running between dance rehearsal and the recital. The princesses sure looked cute all dressed up, and they did a great job too! 
  • Rebekah Grace The Practically Perfect Princess {Book Review}

    I came across Rebekah Grace The Practically Perfect Princess Blog during the Ultimate Blog Party.  Having 3 of my very own practically perfect Princesses I was hooked. As I browsed their blog I learned that the blog was just an addition to a new children’s book!  I got even more excited when I learned the authors were looking for some reviewers. I had to jump on board.

    About the Book:  Rebekah Grace is a charming 3 year old trying to learn the Princess Rules. There are a lot of Princess rules though, and sometimes it’s hard to remember them. I love what the authors have to say about their book “Why is she only practically perfect? ALL little girls are Princesses, no matter who they are, but that doesn’t mean they have to be perfect.  Sometimes, even Princesses make mistakes.”
    About the Authors: Sisters Jennifer and Nicki are former princesses turned Queen Mommies raising princesses of their own. Jen began the book without hope of it ever being published, when Nicki jumped aboard and decided together they would make this book available for all practically perfect princesses and their Queen Mommies. Jennifer is Queen Mommy to 2 Princesses and a Prince, while Nicki is Queen Mommy to 2 Princes and a Princess.
    My thoughts: I just love this book. The cute drawings pull you in to the fun life of Rebekah Grace. The story line is simple and perfect for my little Princesses, but the pictures add so much more to the story that is not written. I could easily relate to many of the situations Rebekah Grace found herself in as she tried to learn the Princess Rules.
    What did the Princesses think? They loved it. They thought Rebekah Grace was cute, and enjoyed laughing over her little antics.
    This book is perfect for newborns and up! You can buy it in hardback or kindle edition here.
