Dorothy's first words each morning continue to be whatever is rolling around in her head. Today, she greeted me with, "Did you know that the humperback is the biggest dolphin in the dolphin family?"
Sarah: What is it about princesses that you like so much?
Dorothy: They're so pretty. Their clothes are so pretty. I like to dress like them. I like their tiaras. I like that they wear tiaras. I like their pretty songs.
Dorothy volunteered, "I want to have an Elsa-Anna birthday party this year. The little kids and the big kids at school told me that they don't have plain birthday parties, they have movie birthday parties."
Dorothy's backpack is from the Skip Hop Zoo collection. As you've seen in pictures, hers is a raccoon. For the new school year, I got her a new backpack -- similar to the last, but a hedgehog. Dorothy opened this back-to-school present and exclaimed, "A new raccoon backpack!"
