I Got to Be A Kid Again

Oh how I love the excuse to be a kid again. Today Belle and I got to do a girls day out. I didn't tell her what we were doing I just told her we were going to the mall. We went to Ross Park Mall and went to the Disney store. There I let her pick out 2 new princess shirts and some fun jewelry. We also got her older brother some Phineus and Ferb stuff. We also preordered our copy of Tangled. I think I'm more excited for it than she is. Although, I know Jamison is super excited to finally get to see it. Go figure my boy wants to see a princess movie, but who am I to stiffle imagination. One day he's no longer going to like disney and I'm going to have to relish in memories of the little boy who wanted to see Tangled. We walked around the mall somewhat and I let her run off some energy at the playground. I then packed her up in the car and started down towards Pittsburgh. I finally told her where we were going and her face lit up light it was Christmas morning. She talked about all the Princesses she would see. We got to our seats and she kept telling me how much she loved me and how excited she was. He face lit up as the princesses started to skate out and mickey and minnie came out. The only downer was the people in front of us who had too many people for not enough seats...5 seats and 6 people...ummm you do the math...AND they were super loud yelling at each other...it got to the point I had to put Belle on my lap so she could see. But all in all I had the most amazing time with Belle. It's very rare that I get to spend that quality time with her. I get to see who she is and really get to focus on her. There are far less melt downs and far less tantrums. It's a calmer belle. It's a genteler belle. It's a sweet Belle. It's probably the Belle that most people get to see because when she is with her friends she's not fighting for attention from her brothers. I love Belle and I can't wait to watch her grow up and watch her grow into the amazing young woman I know she will be!
