Elspeth has reached the age where princesses have begun to be interesting. The one who has captured her fantasy is Elsa from Frozen. For the past week she has asked us to call her Baby Elsa. She has watched Let it Go as often as she is allowed, nicknamed her sister Olaf (Katrine’s favourite character from the movie) and practised making snow out of bubbles in the bath.
Yesterday she went to school with her crown on her head. Upon entering, she introduced herself as Baby Elsa. It appears that she kept it up all day because she not only came home with the crown, a new ring and necklace that she had made but also a story of how they had made snowmen and ice castles at recess. At bedtime she chose, of course, the Frozen book we have. She pointed out that Elsa was wearing a blue dress and asked to wear hers to school.
This morning saw her dressed in her Elsa dress. She was beyond excited. When I picked her up, she was still making pretend snow. In fact, she proudly showed me the paper airplane she had made and announced that it was a snow plane. Loving the creativity.
Proud girl first thing in the morning.
Here she goes making snow!
