Adventures In Being An Auntie
I spent all day Saturday playing with my niece Lauren (she's 5). We built a snowman, we went to see Santa Claus, we ate ice cream, and we played Barbies.
Lauren was a big fan of having her dolls get married. I noticed that, just like my wedding, she always wanted a ring bearer, two flower girls and two bridesmaids for each ceremony.
The first wedding was between Rapunzel (Tangled) and Kristoff (Frozen).
The second wedding was when my niece showed me that she's learning acceptance from her parents.
She wanted Anna (Frozen) to get married, but didn't know who she should marry. Then, she picked up her Elsa doll and said "Punky (my nickname), girls can get married too."
I smiled and said: "You bet."
I didn't point out that sisters shouldn't get married, but I figured we'd cross that bridge when we needed to.
