Pretty Princess

I can go from 0 to 60 in 2 seconds, climb the highest peaks, throw footballs or any other ball-shaped object, play tackle football with 6 yr olds (tip: hang onto their shirt tails until they trip and then you can pounce), fight angry, spitting felines.

In my down time, however, I like to listen to 80's dance music, ABBA, and wear princess tiaras.

Side note from Mom: I am amazed that he was able to keep this tiara on his head. Just yesterday Natalie emphatically declared that she was "going to have to throw these toys away now!" just because Owen dared to touch them. Yet even Natalie could not resist this. Owen found the tiara, put it on his head, and strutted around with his chest puffed out, trying to look at himself in any reflective surfaces (like the dishwasher door). Natalie tried not to smile, but it was there. And she didn't rip it from his head OR declare she would have to throw it away. Progress?

It is progress. I didn't see that kind of progress for several months. I would say just in the last two weeks Elena has been really letting Owen (my Owen) play with any toy. (Hers or his)

Very happy for you!

I love my pretty princess - or prince. Tell Natalie that she is really my only princess.
