Princess Blonde Hair

Photobucket

This little girl stopped me this a.m. as we got ready for church and told me, "I have Princess Blonde Hair". ::snort:: We've encountered this syndrome before haven't we Bre? About 8 years ago? ::grin:: Note that she is wearing one of my gram's pins to church. She was in 7th heaven...and it made me smile all day. Her great Grams would have loved her.

Last night at dinner she altered her standard prayer and said, "God, I just love you so much. Thank for for ALL THESE brothers and thank you for ALL THESE sisters!" Made us all smile.

Lastly, some will remember that the idea of being a Princess has been germinating in my mind for a couple of years. I looked for a program or Bible study to do with the girls and didn't find it. We have read a few books, we've done a lap book on Princeses, we've discussed the role and the rights and the responsibilities.....and this a.m. the phrase "Warrior Princess" dropped into my spirit. I think that God is giving me a heads' up on some speaking/Bible study I'll be doing eventually.

I like "warrior princess". I will be interested to hear where you go with that.
When we named our homeschool last year, we decided to call it Paravel Academy--and I told the children they are princes and princesses growing up to become kings and queens. I have encouraged Lily to take Queen Lucy the Valiant of Narnia as her princess model.

I know that at Christian Family Bookstores, they have a lot of Princess themed items, including bibles. Next time I go, I'll see if they have a study of some sort to go for the girls. Of course, there's always saying that being a princess is a precursor to a queen, and you can relate Esther that way...
