While at a party with my daughter I took part in the “Pretty, Pretty Princess” game. As you can see from the photo, I was unstoppable.

Through their savvy branding of heroines and their relentless advertising to small children, the Disney Company has my 4YO daughter convinced that the world can be easily divided into two groups: Princesses and Witches. While physical beauty isn’t a requirement for a prince or princess at all times (e.g., Beast from Beauty and the Beast), we can still expect their undeniable inner beauty to be evident from time to time.

I posted this photo so you could see, I’m with the princesses.

Tina might be amused at the title of this entry. Everyone else might be amused by something Cora said recently.

I’m going to be a ballerina instead of just a girl in a dress.

That’s my girl. I’ve always aspired to be a great stay-home dad and not just a guy who doesn’t go to work. Similar sentiment.

Cora had a birthday party today with some friends from church and preschool. She said it was the “Best party ever!” Of course, she hasn’t been to too many parties.

What cannot be denied is that she and her friends had fun, and that Tee and I enjoyed hanging out with the other parents.

Cora turned four years old today! Tina and I can’t believe that our little baby, born mere moments ago, has somehow snuck in a fourth birthday already. It’s obviously way ahead of schedule.

Cora’s Aunt Becky took us all to the National Aquarium in Baltimore today to celebrate. Pictures at Flickr.

I’ve just uploaded a bunch of photos from December and January. Strange timing, I know, to post Christmas photos this long after Christmas. I was having computer trouble for most of that time and didn’t have a good way to post photos. Now I have a lot of making up to do.
