The Princess Diary
Zoe’s Daily Funny:
The princess phase….Ah yes…How I’ve wanted to avoid this phase yet I bought her all the Disney Princess movies. Aurora was her first. She didn’t seem to care for it much. Snow White was her 2nd and she LOVED her. I honestly think it’s cause she’s got black hair, Snow White’s got black hair….*le sigh* I mean it doesn’t matter that she’s white, you’re asian, she can talk to animals, you can’t. She loved the Little Mermaid. I was holding her hand walking down the stairs yesterday and all of a sudden she busted out “Ahhhhhh, Ahhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhhhh, Ahhhhhhhh”. OH LORDY. Can we say tone deaf? Actually she’s not that bad. Then the next one was Alladdin. She loved Jasmine. So did her dad, loved Jasmine I mean. Next was Belle. I think she thought she was ok but it’s most definitely not her top 3. Mulan I thought she would most relate to because of the Asian connection but besides Mulan taking a bath and getting ready for the matchmaker while singing “Honor To Us All”. Zoe could care less. Racist. I don’t think she’s princessy enough in Zoe’s mind. I just recently got her the Cinderella DVD and I think it’s still too new for me to say that she loves it but she likes it a lot and watched it about 6 times already since she got it a week ago.She also does this thing with her favorite blankie where she likes to wrap it around her body and claims it’s her princess dress. She’ll also top it off with her $1 tiara I got from Target and go into princess mode. So what I call Zoe’s princess mode is where she actually goes into character. The first time we saw it was when she was wearing her Ariel dress and her dad was trying to carry down a basket full of dirty laundry downstairs. I went to open the babygate for him at the top of the stairs and Zoe was standing in the way.
Me: ZOE MOVE!
Hubs: MOVE!!!!!
In her cute lil voice with her head cocked to one side….
Zoe: Say “Move princess Zoe.”
ARE.YOU. FRIGGIN. KIDDING. ME?
That same day she was doing something or whining about something and I said….
Me: Do you want a time out?!
Zoe: Mommy say “Do you want a time out Princess Zoe?”
It was so funny I couldn’t even be mad anymore. I mean how can you be mad at that? Hahaha
This past Wednesday she had on her ‘blankie princess dress’ and I wanted to check her diaper…
Me: Zoe.
Zoe: Huh?
Me: Come here.
She turns her back on me to inspect her toys on her shelf as if I didn’t just call her name. IGNORE ME?
Me: ZOE! I said come here! NOW!
Zoe: Say “Come here Princess Zoe.”
Me: *LE SIGH* Come here Princess Zoe.
Zoe: *smiling* No.
I swear. She’s a punk. I don’t care what any of you guys say. She’s a punk.
On Monday she was sitting in her car seat watching her dvd and I explained to her that Melody (Ariel’s daughter in Little Mermaid II was a princess).
Me: Zoe did you know that Melody is a princess?
Zoe: *gasp* Like Zoe?
Me: (looking in the rearview mirror at her) You’re not a princess! Princesses don’t pick their nose
Zoe: (still shoving her finger up her tunnel) There’s something in there. I have to get it.Her new “princess” thing to add to the list is she likes to dance while holding my hand or her father’s hand and she makes us sing a princess song. Her dad SUCKS in the department of lyrics. I’m actually lyrically awesome.
:: 08.12.10 :: Home Sick
Zoe was sick for a few days so I pulled her out so she could get a full day of rest and little more quiet time.
:: 08.16.10 :: Bon Bons and Bubbles
Zoe and her dad were going through a phase where after dinner he’ll tell her he has a surprise so she’ll go and close her eyes while her dad gives her a handful of Edy’s Dibs in a bowl.

what a cute princess! her ariel costume is awesome lol
she has you trained… say yes, my king
geez, princess-complex! but she’s so cute! funny and sassy, too.
@deux02 - hahaha she calls her daddy “King Ahpah” per his request.
the cutest punk ever!
wow, she’s grown so much! That Ariel dress is cute. We’re waiting for Disneyworld to buy Tessa her Jasmine costume, and Emmy her Ariel. Emmy breaks out in the Ariel “ahh” song, and it’s so hilarious to listen to it. hahhaaa!!!
@so_droll80 - are the dresses there different?
looks like the puppeteer has become the puppet.
Oh my! How cute and annoying at the same time, no? I hope this phase doesn’t last too long……
i miss zoe
@PetiteMandoo - from what i recall, i thought that the ones that were sold at Disney are prettier than what you would find in stores.
@so_droll80 - really? do they cost more then?
@petitetokio - we miss you. are you still going to try to find a job in ny?
@PetiteMandoo - back in tokyo bebs. will try to be back next spring.
@petitetokio - but what about job searching? are you still trying to come back to the states to work?
@PetiteMandoo - yes ma’am! looking forward to seeing baby #2
@petitetokio - haha ok then! it’s another date
they were about $60-70 ish. So, depending on what “level” costume you buy in stores, it’s pretty much the same. we’re mostly holding off on buying them outside of Disney so that they have the memory of buying their costumes at the source.
@so_droll80 - the source. hahahaha what dresses do they have now and what are they gonna buy when they go?
we have snow white two sleeping beauties and imitation belle dress two cindy dresses one casual belle dress and at disney we’re getting emmy the ariel dress and tessa the jasmine costume.
@so_droll80 - dude that’s a lot of dresses! zoe asked for cinderella and jasmine. hahaha do they have favorite princesses?
it’s really annoying. Sometimes all I’m doing is changing their costumes for like an hour straight. Tessa likes Jasmine and Emmy seems to like all of them, but takes special interest in Snow White and Cindy.
the cutest punk princess i know
can you please record her singing ahhhh~ahhhhhh~!!!thank you princess zoe’s ummah
