What I have learned about princess pretend play from watching my children with the dress up box:
1)A prince wears a firefighter coat and helmet.
2)There is no rock and roll at a ball; you must hold hands and dance very slow, like music at church.
3)The prince runs after the princess screaming “Don’t leave! Don’t leave! Look at my firefighting badge! You must listen to me.”
4)Spiderman is not a prince.
5)You have to hit at least one of your two brothers in the head with your shoe when you lose it.
6)Baby brothers can fit in a princess costume, especially the 2T Barbie Island Princess.
7)It is a lot of fun to play Drizella and Anastasia ripping up a dress.
8)If I say it is time for bed, they will tell me “It isn’t midnight after all, let’s go dance some more.”
9)Mice are not good to have around the house in our world, are they mommy?
10)The fairy godmother should have had a prettier dress like she did in Shrek 2.
What princess will we tackle next? Hmmmmmm
