Dopey's Mommy?

Cameron and Emmy went to Target to buy diapers.

He came back with this toy for Emmy. One of the Princesses.

(I couldn't be too angry because it was Belle, my favorite! He must have known...)

She was SO excited to open the box and take her out. Her eyes were lit up like high beams as she looked over every. single. inch. of that doll.

She caressed Belle's dress, her face, moved her arms....then touched her hair, and immediately tried to take off her tiara-somehow I got her to leave that on, and was grateful I never presented the doll to her with the shoes on...OH NO, I do not need a 911 call because she thought Liam needed to know what they tasted like.

Point for me!

So, Monday night, she was holding her and started saying things about the doll....and this word kept coming up: do-pee. And I look at Cameron like, whaaaat?

Finally after flipping through my mental rolodex of Emmy related toys/books/vocabulary....I recall one of her books. Aptly named, Dopey's Bedtime. (It's a book about bedtime routines. And probably the only princess related thing we own. Now, I don't dislike the princesses, but I don't need or want my girl to be a prissy-can't-get-dirty-girly-girl. There will be balance!!)

Snow White is in the book for about a second...and Emmy obviously asked, Dopey's mommy? She really wanted to know if they were one and the same!

So, we enlightened her.

We checked out Beauty and the Beast-fast forwarding only to the songs and skipping over any tumultuous scenes as Emmy is a very sensitive girl that has very real dreams (that keep us, namely Cameron, up at night) and she starts crying if anyone in the movie might be "sad, hurting, or crying" themselves.

The second photo here she is asking about a glimpse she had of one of those tumultuous scenes...she gets concerned fast!

So we straighten out that there is a happy ending and Belle has a prince that she loves and kisses, just like mommy and daddy. They are happy!!

And she says, "Dopey's mommy?"

So much for that!

PS: Please excuse Emmy's hair and clothing....apparently during her walk with daddy and Quincy, she was singing parts of the Sound of Music, and hugged a tree acting out the bedroom scene during the song, Favorite Things. Well, the tree just had some limbs cut off...so she returned from their walk with sap in her hair. Sap on her hands. Sap on her dress.

Speaking of, anyone know how to get sap out of clothing? Mind leaving a comment helping me out??!? Thanks...
