Girls will be girls and they are going to like what comes naturally to them. Emma thinks that Disney Princesses are the same as Barbies and could care less what movie they are from. She just likes the sparkles and frills. I’m certain I hate Barbies more than Disney princesses, but as long as it’s healthy play and we aren’t fixated on brands or inappropriate behaviors I’m fine with it.
I agree about the attitude clothes, though…I especially hate “Princess” and the ones with stuff written on the butt. Seriously. Why would I want someone looking at my daughter’s butt?

I don’t object to the movies–just the marketing campaign. Did you know they even make Disney Princess TVs? I have sworn that no child of mine will ever wear what I call an “attitude” piece of clothing–you know, the ones that say, “I’m the center of the universe.” “Absolutely perfect.” And as a title, “Princess” is top of that list.
