As a lifelong Disney fan myself, you can imagine my maternal pride when Ava finally began her own love affair with the wonderful world of Disney Princesses over the summer. I am not ashamed to admit that I have been slowly contributing to this preference since her birth—buying princess apparel, encouraging the viewing of Disney DVDs, and even allowing her to purchase Disney dolls as a reward. Nevertheless, this was entirely her choice and she has been enjoying it ever since.
Cinderella was an early favorite, and in fact for several months Ava has been acting out various scenes from the movie. Her favorite role-play is where the evil stepsisters destroy Cinderalla's pink dress and she is forced to flee to the garden in tears—where she is miraculously met by her fairy godmother and receives an even-more-beautiful blue dress (Ava's favorite color). Erik and I have both filled the supporting roles in this scene many times. It's actually quite fun! We think we may have a little actress on our hands.
However, Cinderella has been placed on the backburner as Ava explores yet another princess: the beautiful Belle. We are currently engaged in a desperate search for the infamous yellow dress for Ava's Halloween costume. She is determined to dress as Belle for Halloween, and I for one refuse to accept failure. So if anyone knows where we could purchase such a costume, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!

I had such wonderful response to this post that Ava is now the proud owner of not one, but TWO Belle dresses! Thank you, Abby and Jill!
