The Princess Has Arrived

Last Christmas Riley received a beautiful princess dress from Aunt Sara, Uncle Justin, Addie & Bella.  It's the dress that Belle wore in Beauty and the Beast.  Riley didn't want to wear her gown when she first got it.  She wasn't really the "princess" type.  Riley wouldn't wear dresses of any sort actually.  However, a few months ago Riley saw a dress in her closet and asked to wear it.  I said sure.  Riley loved wearing the dress.  We had reached a new stage with Riley!  Next, she really loved wearing her tutu(also given to her by Justin & Sara).  She would even wear the tutu out to the store because she didn't want to take it off.  Well today while she was watching Beauty & the Beast with me and Kiki, she asked to wear her fancy dress.  I ran up to her room and grabbed it out of the closet.  Riley put on her gown and was just as giddy as could be!  She was running and twirling all around!  Riley even put on a pair of her cha cha's to top off the princess attire!  The princess is emerging in my Riley girl!  Of course I love her in her shorts and t-shirts too!  It was fun to watch her twirl around in her gown though!
