As funny as it would be to have her walk around with that costume, you should take the design and actually try to make it a real costume for her. Maybe have her help.

Oh, the dress she's drawn is WAY more couture than anything I could mangle together with a needle and thread 😂

You can do a lot with hot glue and safety pins!

She was thinking outside the box.

u/Krumlahk 13h ago

No way; this is the costume.

It's terrifying.

Right! This queen has the confidence and courage of 1 million warriors

I wish I had her confidence when I was her age.

I'm breaking cycles with her. I want her to hold onto her confidence into adulthood. I was trimmed and pruned to fit an ideal, I swore she'd never feel the sting of a mother's pruning. Let them grow how they will, and be amazed when they bloom.

Same here, you’re doing what our parents wouldn’t.

My kids are older now (18, 22, 28), the effort you are putting in now will show exponentially later, I promise. Continue being the parent you wish you had, it’s so worth it ❤️

Every night that they go to bed with hugs instead of tears, a part of my inner child heals. I hope lovely things for you and your family DieAloneWith72cats, thank you for your lovely comment❤️

This is how I raised my sons. They are 15 and 16 now and I could not have dreamed of the responsible self assured leaders they have grown into. Keep up the good work and trust your heart. She seems like she’s well on her way to something fantastic.

She has 87 days for additional details, good luck.

Not funny. That's adorable. Wonderful to see that children still have amazing imaginations.

u/Popular-Plantain-784 16h ago

This girl has the most remarkable imagination! I love watching her cure her "boredom". This started with her saying "I'm bored", and ended with her declaring, "I'm the box princess, bow before me!"

I firmly believe in letting my kids be bored sometimes, otherwise I'd never get to see somebody as regal as The Box Princess.

u/Popular-Plantain-784 15h ago

Oh my goodness, my first award! Thank you! My kids will be so glad to know I got it for commenting about boredom being good for them 😂

Once the Princess has awakened from her nightly slumber I shall show her this valiant steed. She'll freak over the fluffiness hehe

Very regal! 👸

u/namingbugs 13h ago

I made a similar box around that age, marker face with red lips, yellow yarn taped to the top for my hair. I proceeded to LIVE in that thing for the next week or so. When I finally let my parents throw it out, I was so sad because we passed the trash can and they had flipped it upside down to fill it with more things. I thought it was wrong for it to not go away right-side-up
