Sleeping Beauty Phone Call

As a reward, princesses call to congratulate my girls when they learn to use the potty. Snow White called Reese, and Claire requested Sleeping Beauty...because she has yellow hair. After a little phone tag, we got ahold of Sleeping Beauty and it was everything she dreamed it would be! :) I love Claire's face at about 10 seconds in.

That's such a great motivator! I want to go stay in Sleeping Beauty's castle. What do you think I would have to learn to earn an invitation?

Okay....now that is just too cute. I could just eat her up (Claire that us). She has quite possibly the cutest little voice ever. What a darling idea. How do you have such connections ;)?

Sleeping Beauty sounds a lot like Ginger...am I right?

Claire looks like a Koch. What a cutie. Congrats on the potty training! It's always nice to not have to buy two sets of diapers.

Yep. Ginger makes a great princess. :) I think I was Minnie Mouse for her daughter, Hailey, back in the day.

So cute! Katie is sitting next to me and she said, "Sleeping Beauty is real?!" Way to make my kid a believer! And yay for you... 2 down, only one to go!

Cute reward. So how is it going? Ruthie is still only about 80% I'd say.

Why did I not think of that? every girl should celebrate potty success with a princess!! So who is Everett going to call? I'll be excited to hear.

When I showed Ben the video, HE even asked me if Sleeping Beauty was real. I LOVE LOVE LOVE her eyes at about 10 seconds where they get huge, she looks a little embarrassed, then looks away. I'm actually excited you posted this, so I could see the other end of the spectrum. We've had some people dress up as princesses to attend someone's daughter's birthday as well. It's amazing how believing children are, especially when it comes to something happy.
Again, thank you! I loved it! I totally want to have one of my boys (or Taylor) do this for Everett. Guess it just depends on who he's into at the time.
