princess.

#1 I did not pose her. She walked out of my room in THESE boots. How she got them on and zipped up and walked in them, I'll never know. I can barely manage a non-wedge heel. Then, she said, "Mama, take my picture and I'll do this." What???

So, like every other moment in her life, I listened.

#2 I think they are on the wrong feet. Although this is a major step up from her wearing Daddy's shoes. She LOVES any shoes of his...he's a size 13! Bigger than her whole body!

#3 Today, (ONE day before her princess ball at school) she tells me. "I not gonna be Cinderella, I'm gonna be Snow White."

Uhm, We already have a Cinderella costume and I am so behind on work, everything and we have no time to get anything else. Did I mention we have a perfectly good Cinderella costume? Free.

I even tried to explain that she was a blonde and Cinderella was a blonde. Snow White is a brunette like Mommy. Her response? You cant be Snow White but you can be Jasmine with brown hair. Thanks. (I can just picture me in a mid drift genie costume...scary)

#4 I tell Gigi as I am dropping off Reese before my shoot today. She reiterates, "Gigi, I'm gonna be Snow White." Cue Gigi's panic face...

I have a shoot, Gigi has the heating/air guy coming to her house. THEIR IS NOT TIME TO GET TO A MALL.

I was not panicked. She'll forget by morning.

My mom reminded me that this was a small glimpse into her life and that, just like me, she will get her costume changed.

Oh yeah, I do remember my mom doing everything for me.

Thank goodness Gigi did not have time to whip one up. You all know she woulda done it!

So, I finished my shoot and edits and off we went. 7:30 at night and we are in Target.

No Snow White costume.

Marshalls.

Ross.

I HATE THESE STORES. No, really. Meanwhile, I am in there in the hopes of the luckiest day of my life. A snow white costume (that is not trashy) in a 4t.

Never going to happen.

Do not tell a determined Gigi this information.

2 stores later (2 of which were Sam's and BJs...what? My mom made me. What, are they going to have bulk Snow White costumes for the whole class???)

No costume.

I did score a cute tiara from Michael's (very last minute) and when we showed Reese her response was..."It's too yittle. I need a BIG tiarrrer."

Without giving her a diva speech, I just brought out the same tiara later once we got home and acted like I wanted it and it was a hit.

So, after 2 hours running around, lots of laughs, we are back at our beginning outfit.

Oh, and with one too small tiara.

Wish us luck tomorrow.

And, She only wants to dance at the ball with her prince (who wasn't going to make it) and no other boys or durls. "Only Daddy, he's my prince." Cue Daddy'd heart melting...
