We must have listened to that soundtrack a hundred times already. She’s only two and yet already she knows the words, and I have to giggle when she sings “I want much more than this provincial life”.
She spins quickly and tells me that Gaston is a “meany-pants”. We have avoided the princess hullabaloo fairly well the first three years of my older daughters life, but now, with two girls, princess paraphernalia litters the house, and I cannot take two steps without coming across a princess book, or a gown, or a slipper-even their snow caps have princess images on them, and to be honest, I ‘ve grown a little concerned about the whole princess thing.
I never wanted my girls to get too caught up with the fairytale ideals spouted by large corporations, as if the idea of meeting a prince and living happily ever-after is an actual possibility. While I fully believe I have met and married my prince, and we live very happily, our life is sprinkled with the same struggles that others wrestle with and there is no fairy godmother waving her wand and dusting us in glitter as all of our troubles magically melt away. My ‘castle’ is as messy as my neighbors and we scrub our toilets, and take out the trash, just the same as everyone else.
However, recently, we were introduced to a new princess, GiGi, Gods Little Princess. I was both intrigued and hesitant. Gigi is a precocious little girl with a heart for others and a love of all things girly and princess-y. She also loves the Lord. Through her various adventures, her parents continually point her back to God’s word, as she seeks to discover who she is, and how she ought to behave. My children have watched these videos repeatedly, even my boys, and I feel certain that when my girls play princess, it’s not only Belle who they will be imitating, but also GiGi. That definitely eases my stress about the whole princess thing.
