Princesses

Lucy and Johnny recently became engaged, so there has been much discussion of the wedding. The other day I was changing Ingrid into a dress with pink flowers on it when Elena noticed that she and Ingrid were both wearing pink flowers on their clothes. Elena said, "Mommy, Ingrid and I are flower girls." I told her, "Yes. And maybe you and Ingrid can be flower girls when Aunt Lucy gets married." Of course, Elena wasn't familiar with the duties of a flower girl, so I explained, "Flower girls get to wear pretty dresses and walk down the aisle at church before the bride comes in." Elena added, "Yeah, with their prince." I smiled and asked her who her prince was. She responded, "Daddy," like I was a very silly Mommy for not knowing that very obvious fact. (That was fair because Josh always calls Elena his princess.)
