The Princess Phase

All my girls have gone through it.  Some of them have never really outgrown it entirely.  Others, the phase lasted merely days.

For Megan, I think the phase is not going to be a short one.  I'm talking about The Princess Phase.  It's the phase my girls go through where all they want to wear are frilly, girly dresses.  They realize they are girls.  They realize they like spinning in the dresses.  The like feeling like a princess.  Megan LOVES wearing dresses.  She would wear one every single day if I would let her.

For her birthday, many people bought lots of dresses for Megan to wear this summer.  Then, I found a bunch of Laura's old dresses with the clothes storage.  Megan is well stocked.  She could wear a dress every day for over two weeks and not have to repeat. 

I am trying to just enjoy the phase.  Right now, being Spring, it isn't always warm enough to play outside in a dress.  I let her wear one as often as is convenient because I know this phase won't last forever.  Next might be the tomboy stage, where dresses will be a thing of the past.  Who knows?  For now, Megan is a princess.
