Princess Isabella

Princess Isabella had her 4th birthday celebration on Sunday. It was a princess party with her wonderful parents, Tom & Caroline. It was a tea party for a handful of girls with Swedish tradition.

Danijela & I made a day of it. We created a birthday card. She wanted to take a bath to get ready. I blew her hair dry (wow that takes time for someone that has hair!). She wanted me to curl her hair. I actually do have a curling iron from eons ago. Hum. Tried the first curl & she said "No, Mama." Okay. Saved me like an hour.

Danijela always apologizes to me. I told her it didn't matter to me at all. Whatever she wanted was fine by me. We spent time getting ready like any princess would. We didn't have time to "paint" her toenails which seemed fine (amazingly enough). You never know the battles you are going to have to fight, but this wasn't one on this particular day. She had a wonderful time & didn't want to leave.

All parties must come to an end. She followed my instructions well & we strolled home. Danijela spent the next hour amazed at the princess things with which she was gifted. She is still amazed today.

Thank you, Tom & Caroline.
