Used to be my girls wouldn’t watch Cinderella because they were scared of the Stepmother. She gave them nightmares at bedtime and that was the ONLY thing from the movie that they remembered. In fact, in our recent trip to Disney, she was who they constantly asked if we would see. I think it was one of those scared to see but still can’t stop looking moments! Just our luck, we got an up-close view of the Stepmother!
But somehow, these days, I find myself playing “Step Mother” a bit more than I ever imagined!
The girls LOVE LOVE LOVE for me to play Step Mother and give them ridiculous chores to do! They dress up in their best Cinderella style of the day and use their pom poms as their “rags”! They clean everything from rugs, to windows to table tops! Tonight, they even cleaned under the dog bed! These gals are efficient and speedy!
Now, would I be considered a really bad mother if I started giving them REAL rags and REAL cleaning spray and REALLY made them start cleaning!?!?! Because I am seeing this game a win-win for everyone if that is the case!
Oh how I never want the days of dress up and imaginations to vanish! Little girls and their desires to be princesses! I treasure these days and moments more than my little girls know!
