I’m not a fan of princesses. Slowly, you are becoming one. I didn’t want you to be. I still don’t, but I know how much of a motivator “the forbidden” can be. So, I temper your interest in them by injecting my perspective on the often “helpless”female roles they play. I play up their heroine edge. I suppose some of them aren’t soooo bad.

It’s not time to act up
It’s time to wind down

We had a great day
All around town

Give thanks today
For the memories we’ll keep

We’ll make more tomorrow
For now, not a peep

Go on love
Go get some sleep!

*I wrote this for you tonight after I finally got you to sleep. The words come to me so much easier these days. I have to stop saying I’m going to write children’s books and just do it. If not for me then for you*
