Our celebrity

Last night I was browsing through my copy of the free Tidewater Parent magazine and on page three I saw Sophia's picture!

For the past 2 summers she has participated in a princess camp at her old dance studio. I recognized her right away! I visited the dance studio's website today and wanted to share how they are advertising their princess camp this year. Go to this page: Princess Camp. You'll see the image of several girls at the top of the page. She's the one dressed like Snow White (blue top, yellow skirt, pink crown) in the middle of the shot. If you scroll further down the page you will see another shot of her crawling out from underneath a parachute - she's wearing green in this picture.

This morning I showed Sophia the picture in the magazine and she beamed! She seriously thinks she's a celebrity. Not an hour later (and without me knowing), she had set up shop outside on the sidewalk. She put on a fancy pink gown, carried out a chair, magazines from the bathroom, and a notepad & pen. She was officially selling her autograph! She was so frustrated with me when I told her to come in the house because I couldn't be out there with her.

Then to top it off....this afternoon while we were bike shopping at Toys R Us she asked me if she could have a toy. I told her no and reminded her that I'm not buying her any more toys. I told her now that she's almost 5 that she's going to have a earn her own money by helping out around the house and saving up an allowance if she wants to buy toys. Her response - THAT'S WHAT I WAS TRYING TO DO THIS MORNING.

Humph.
