Our Princess heads to the Gym!

I am really eating my words from that post where I exclaimed that Mallory was "not that into dress up". Lately, she wants to wear her princess dresses EVERYWHERE!!!  I have been going to the gym 5 days a week, and Mallory really enjoys the daycare area, so it is an added bonus for me.  The other day, however, she would not even THINK if leaving the house unless she could wear her Snow White dress.

I fought her at first, but then I decided I would just get her out the door, and bring an outfit to change her into once we were there.  I DID have to fight about the princess shoes that are at least 5 sizes too big, but since she got to wear the dress, she eventually gave in.  The pink Chuck Taylors matched her real outfit, I swear.

I was worried I'd look like the pushover mom that spoils her daughter, but the staff all thought Mallory was darling, and told me not to worry about it.  When Mallory walked in, all the little girls just ran up to her and admired her dress.  She was SO proud!  They gently touched the glittery skirt, like they thought she might be a real princess.  I told her she could only go on the playground if she put on her other outfit, and she said okay, and I went to work out.  When I got back 2 hours later, she had changed, but there was a little girl dressed like Cinderella who had arrived- so I guess I'm not such a push-over after all!

I plan to enjoy these princess moments as much as possible!
