The Birthday Girl

I can't believe our sweet baby turned two today! This past year has flown by. Tonight we went to the mall and let her pick out something at the Disney store. She found a Little Mermaid figure set that she had to have. Then she rode the carousel and ate ice cream. Andrew wouldn't let us pay for the carousel ride because he wanted to use his allowance to pay for it. He said he would pay for her to ride it five times if she wanted. Luckily she didn't :-) We are having her family birthday party later.

Since we went to Disney World in the beginning of January Anslee has fallen in love with princesses. Ariel in particular. She loved the Little Mermaid and the Beauty and the Beast shows at MGM. Even though she has never shown any interest in tv at all, Santa brought her the Little Mermaid DVD. Now she loves it. She won't sit and watch anything else for even 5 minutes, but will sit and watch the entire Little Mermaid movie. It is hilarious to watch her try to sing along with Ariel.

One exception to her love of princesses is that she doesn't love Belle from Beauty and the Beast. When we watched the show at MGM, she was very upset when the Beast turned into the prince. I think she blames Belle for his disappearance. At the end of the show she kept saying "No beast? Beast gone?" I want Beast!" Everyone around us thought it was adorable. So I told her I would get her a Beast. Little did I know that Disney isn't really making the Beast right now. I've called around everywhere to find one. I can't even get the Beauty and the Beast movie (which I have no idea if she'd sit and watch it anyway). So anytime someone mentions the Beast Anslee says "I want Beast". I'm trying to discourage the word Beast in our house :-)

I'll post Disney pictures soon.
