Princess for a Day

Danielle had her birthday party last weekend at the Columbia Marionette Theater. Seventeen little friends from the neighborhood, daycare, and church came to enjoy the performance of "Puss in Boots". (Right after Christmas, we brought Aden and Danielle to the Marionette Theater to see an adaptation of Hans Christian Andersen's "The Steadfast Tin Soldier".)

This year Danielly wanted to be dressed as Ariel for her birthday and have her party in the Underworld Sea Kingdom section of the theater. I have no idea where the girl got the idea she had to dress up for her party. Last year she insisted on wearing her Cinderella costume. Months before Christmas she kept talking about her Ariel party and costume. How could I not let her wear her costume and let her be princess for an entire day?
