"She looks like a little princess..."

I go pick up Claire from school today, Tara came with me as we were out to lunch. Claire's class is outside playing when we arrived and were just coming in. As they are all in the bathroom washing their hands, me and Claire's teacher have the following conversation:

Teacher: "Who does Claire usually play with?"

Me: confused: "What do you mean?"

Teacher: "Mostly boys??"

Me: (Oh God, where is this going??) "Yes, she plays with her cousins and brother, and there are mainly little boys that live near us."

Teacher: "We have been just laughing at how much she plays with the boys and can hold her own! She has no problem playing hard and getting dirty! We asked her why is she not playing with any of the girls??, she answered "the girls don't want to play, I want to play""

Me: (now breathing since she has not been in trouble) "Yeah, she knows how to play hard, but she likes to dress up while she does" =)

Teacher: "She looks like a princess, but she certainly does not want to play like one! We get a kick out of the fact that she is always dressed up, but is filthy when she leaves here!"

Me: "Welcome to my world!"

Oh - we have our hands full. We laughed hard over this one!! I asked Claire why she does not play with the girls...

"The girls are boring, they just play in a club, I want to play superheroes with the boys!!"

I can't wait to tell her about this when she is dealing with her own little stubborn little girl one day! =) I took some pics of her today after we picked her up after school...You can't tell that well, but her shoes are FILTHY and look how beat up her feet are!! =)

Nonna always has a surprise for Claire when she comes home from school if she was good that day (bake brownies, paint something etc), so cute, huh?. Well today they made fairy wands out of pretzel rods, icing and sprinkles!! Here is the difference between boys and girls...

Claire - Owen - =)
