Since starting Kindergarten and deciding she loves all things princess, Cassidy's been talking about weddings. She has weddings for her Barbie dolls, watches Cinderella over and over, and talks about who she will marry. I blame Disney. For a good amount of the year, she's been planning to marry a boy named Glenn Paul from her class. She came home one day talking about him being her boyfriend.... And said that he kisses her ... On the mouth.
And then my head felt like it was going to explode.
She's in kindergarten!!!
She's five!!
We quickly had a talk about the kissing and said NO kissing on the mouth. If he tries to kiss her, we said she could tell him to kiss her on the cheek. Or hug. BUT NO KISSING ON THE MOUTH!
This lasted until last week or so when one night at bedtime, she looked seroiusly at me while laying on her bed, bouncing one leg crossed over the other, and said, "I've decided not to marry Glenn Paul." While swallowing my smile, I gave a quick mental cheer and "thank you god", I solemnly asked, "oh? Why not?" Cassidy said, "he's just too crazy. A little crazy is okay, but he acts crazy all the time." I nodded and agreed with her. Then she said, "I'm going to marry William instead."
Hmmmmph. I'm now having nightmares about her sneaking out of the house as a teenager to meet boys on bourbon street.
Anyway, two of Jeff's friends from soccer got married in the French quarter this weekend and we brought Cassidy to the wedding with us even though it would be a late night. She was entranced during the short rooftop ceremony, complete with a setting sun. She was very excited to watch all the wedding party dances, especially the bride and grooms first dance. She drank kiddy cocktails from the bar and danced until her feet got sore!
And then Daddy carried barefoot Cassidy to the car for the ride home.
I'm afraid we've added to the enchantment of all things weddings and princess.
Damn you, Disney.
great photos!! that disney will get you in trouble
