Princess Tea Party

A local "play cafe" had a Princess Tea Party in celebration of the re-release of the Cinderella Movie.  My friend was taking her daughter and kept asking me if I was going to take Miss M and dress her up.  Dress her up? Really? Miss M isn't exactly the princess type.  We own no princess clothes or accessories.

Until the day of the party! We went to a local toy store (which my friend recommended) and bought a tutu and a tiara and a wand.  

I was a little concerned I would put her in the tutu and tiara and she would just freak out on me but she liked it. She ended up wearing the tutu until she had to get ready for her bath.  It was sweet. 

She even smiled for my camera (the camera phone).

I wanted to take some pictures before we went to the party and this is what happened when I took out my actual camera.  You'd think the world was ending.  It wasn't. 

 Miss M and her friend Mary in a Tinkerbell outfit.  They had lots of snacks for the kids to eat.  Mary LOVES to eat. She usually steals all Miss M's food.  She did this day too. Miss M had some snacks on her plate which Mary proceeded to steal and eat for her. Luckily, Miss M doesn't care too much.

 They had apple juice for the kids in mini coffee cups with the lid. It was so grown up and adorable.

 They gave the kids a "goodie". Miss M got a pretty pink ring which will fit her when she's 7 years old.

Then they turned on the original Cinderella movie and Miss M watched 4.6 seconds of it then decided it was play time again. She was able to get up and down the slide on her own.

My friends like to compare how at the beginning of the summer we had to follow the kids everywhere to ensure they didn't get themselves hurt and now we can kind of (note kind of) sit on the sidelines and watch them play. Glorious.
