Nicole is obsessed with princesses. She told me other night she wants to be a princess when she grows up and asked how she would be able to do that. I told her that Mark and I would have to be a King and Queen which we're not, or she would have to marry a prince. She agreed that marrying a prince would be the way to go. Then she said "I'll marry a prince like Daddy". :)
Anyway, yesterday Nicole was asking lots of questions about princesses, where they live, why we don't see any here, etc. We told her that some countries have princesses and some don't and that we don't have any in Canada. She proceeded to tell us that Florida has princesses. Not catching on at this point, we tell her that no, the US doesn't have princesses. Then she tells us about Cinderella, Belle, Ariel, etc. who live at Disneyworld. Right, we get where we are going now. So we start to tell her that Cinderella and Belle aren't real and that those are just people dressing up. Silence. Mark and I look at each other, realizing our mistake. A quick whispered conversation (we were in the car) between Mark and I determines that we are okay with her believing in princesses for now. Luckily, Nicole doesn't believe me and tells me how she met Cinderella at her friend's birthday party, so she has to be real. Phew, crisis averted.

Julia is poopy
She would tell you if I didn't. So I figured I would. ;)
When Julia moved the preschool room at daycare a month ago she refused to tell them when she had a dirty diaper. This was nothing new to me, she won't tell me either. You can smell her across the room and she'll deny it. Her daycare teachers spent the whole month getting her to fess up when she needs a diaper change (as a precursor to potty training). She finally started telling them about a week ago, which makes them very happy. Thanks to her daycare teacher, she will now tell anyone and their brother when she is poopy - random strangers, the cat, etc. The weekend she told me to tell Bethany (her daycare teacher) that she was poopy. Yeah, I'll call her and tell her that right now!
We're going to Niagara Falls next week, including a trip to Marineland. Nicole is super excited (and as a result, so is Julia)! Coincidentally, this is "ocean week" in Nicole's room at daycare. So Nicole is learning all about sea animals. Nicole thinks she will see all these animals at Marineland. We were watching tv the other day and Emily Young had an episode at Marineland. Emily was feeding the dolphins, swimming with the dolphins, and riding the dolphins. I've had to explain to Nicole multiple times now that we will not be swimming and riding with the dolphins! So all in all, this could be a very disappointing trip for Nicole! ;) In all seriousness though, I'm looking forward to the trip, I do think the girls will have a great time!
Oh, here is a random video of the girls singing their babies to sleep. I thought it was cute. :)
