Princess Jesus

We've been talking a lot about Jesus in our house this week.  And with all that talking, praying and reading we've been doing with Buggy, the only thing she seems to understand is "coloring."  Every time we say a prayer or say Jesus, Bug will repeat, "Jesus.  Coloring?!  Okay!"  This is probably because the only place she gets to color now is in the church nursery, where they color pictures of Him.  (We're on a coloring hiatus in our home right now because if I had to color one more thing, I may have thrown them out the window!) 

 Well, today was not exception.  We woke up, went to the "bub" with Daddy - a term her and her best friend Caroline came up with to describe the Kids Club at Gold's Gym - and came home for some lunch.  After lunch, we went upstairs to rock, and read a book about Easter, and of course, Jesus.

I've never been a fan of the whole "princess phase" or anything princess for that matter, and was secretly hoping that since she's such a tomboy at heart, we would get to bypass that whole stage altogether.  But, much to my dismay, while I was reading, Bug spotted her dress-up basket in her closet and pointed to a hand me down princess costume that I may or may not have tried to hide in the corner.  She asked, "Princess?"  and then tried to put in on....ugh....When I asked her what the princess' name was she replied very matter of factly, "Princess Jesus!" 

I couldn't help but give her a big hug and kiss, and be glad that she's at least learing about our Savior...even if He has to be in the form of a princess for now.
