Princess Knight

I've neglected my postings this year, have had other activities occupying my time lately. I will attempt to get some of the things posted that I had planned on doing earlier. On a pretty day in February some of my grands came over to play "Magic Kingdom"...
...the youngest decided that instead of being a Princess or a faerie she would like to be a Knight!
I must say, I think she made a very good knight...
...though I might be a bit biased. Our Royal Princess donned a red theme with red tiara, red gloves and "ruby red slippers"...
...the Knights charge out to conquer dragons...
...back at the castle to regroup and recoup.
See the "ding" on the bridge of her nose? This was a "gift" from her brother prior to them coming to my house.
Ready to do battle...
...so why not a little practice between siblings. Open your eyes Sir Knight!
...no backing down...
...if all else fails, she'll just punch him.

Thanks, Bob! The grands are a joy to watch when they dress up and take on imaginary personalities. Role playing is a wonderful way for children to learn how to think things through.

Hi! Takes me back to a time long ago where I gave my sister a ding, but it was to her forehead, from a wayward or was it a well aimed shot after throwing a stone. It's funny what we remember. Good to see the little one sticking up for herself.

Take Care,
Peter

Good to hear from you, Peter! The little one is a "funny" little girl. She loves to wear skirts and dresses, but then she jumps, and bounces, and climbs. It's a good thing she wears shorts under those skirts.
