On the way to school today Georgia asked me to tell her a "princess story," something that happens from time to time. She has a few stipulations. First, there must be two princesses, named Georgia and Sophie. Second, "you have to make it up in your head when you are telling it." In other words, no plagiarism. I usually try to get her involved in the story ("And the princesses lived in a castle surrounded by what?"), not because I'm engaging with her developmentally appropriate skill for storytelling, but because I'm just not that creative.
This morning's story involved the princesses living in a castle on a rainbow and concluded with them sharing three wishes. Here were Georgia's chosen wishes:
1. More princesses! We named them Avery and Ellie, btw.
2. A purple bus.
3. Flowers in the bus.
I'd just like to mark this moment as happening before she has learned the "wish for unlimited wishes" cliche. In her purest heart, she really wanted flowers in a purple bus and other princesses to share them with. I love getting to know this four-year-old.
