My Dream Come True!

On Friday, my long awaited dream came true!

I played My Little Ponies with my daughter!!!

Gracie is old enough now to play with me.  I'm so excited, because before now, she has been interested mostly in what the boys were doing.  She would rather have been yielding a sword and fighting the enemy than playing dolls with me. 

And, of course, Haley was not interested in the least.  I tried, but she pulled the heads off all the barbies.  The most girly thing she would do is let me put makeup on her and paint her nails.  But she would barely put up with that.

So to entice Grace, I showed her a My Little Pony video and went through the toys to dig up our three lucky ponies.  We baked a cake with them, brushed and braided their hair, took them for a drive, and had a playdate at Toola Roola's house.  Pinky Pie didn't want her hair braided, but it looked fabulous after we brushed it.  Scootaloo got to have a piggy back ride on Pinky's back.

The ponies are a part of our daily life now.  They hang out on the counter, eat with us, go in the car.

I'm a happy mommy :-)

I think Grace likes it, too!
