I was getting the Bean some new PJs since she's shot up, oh another 4 feet from last year or something.

Pretty purple pair, but it says "The princess waited in the enchanted forest for her prince to come."

And I thought, "screw that, oh no she won't, she'll move to San Francisco or New York and go to college."

Needless to say I didn't buy the pjs.

Why do we start giving girls these messages so early? Why do we put these ideas in their heads EVER.
That's just deeply wrong.

oh yeah, I want her to have some Thomas the Tank engine pjs and underwear too, they just didn't have any in her size. Ooo and Bob the Builder too, she loves those :-)

I have sent her to school in boys pullups too. There was a small question, I replied that she really likes Robots, so when she needed a change one day, they put a boys pullup on her when she asked. That was cool.
