[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm pretty low-maintenance and very much a feminist.  My daughter went through a very girly princess phase and a few of my friends were surprised I was ok with it.  I'm ok with it (a) because little kids like sparkly/pretty things (as do some adults) and (b) I would have loved some of that stuff when I was her age, and (c) Disney princesses today are so much more evolved than the ones when I was growing up.  Like Merida - Merida in Brave is awesome.  She saves herself and doesn't wait for some dude to save her.  The phase passed. She's had other girly phases and I roll with those too.  [/quote]

You're describing me and my 3.5 year old too. Her current favorite Disney princesses are Merida and Mulan. She's all Disney, but prefers the baddest ones. As a result, she loves shooting with pretend bow and arrows and sword fighting (while in a princess dress, of course). She's not allowed to shoot AT anything living, but aside from that, Disney, pretend bad guy fighting, and whatever else comes next shall pass. Maybe she'll end up goth in high school and be horrified at all of the photos from her younger days. That was all you, kid![/quote]
