My daughter became a girl overnight. One day she just became obsessed with Barbies, princesses and anything pink. She wants a necklace, a bracelet and in her language, “errings”.

She would, everyday, tell me that Santa will give her a wand, a crown and a princess gown this Christmas. When we are eating or I will be giving her a bath, she would always mention that  “Mom, me want like Cinderella, like crown in my head,  ipit buhok (in a bun like Cinderella).

It is quite amusing (and fun!) but I am somehow saddened because it is one proof that Martha is growing up right before my very eyes.

Here she is last October 14. She demanded she wear her princess dress (that’s the flower girl dress she had last March – masikip na pumutok ung zipper!). She even posed, promise I was so shocked!!!!

Her Cinderella Pose:

Cinderella holds her gown like that daw. She was watching Dinosaurs pa din while I was taking pictures. But when I told her, Martha, can you pose for Mom?, she did this:

And then I told her, OK, pose for me one last time, she RAWRed like a model, look!

When she was done being Cinderella, she fell down to the floor (our tiles are such a distraction, sorry, downside to renting):

I asked her, What are you doing Marts?
She answered: “Me Leeping Beauty Mom, wait!”
