The Princess Trait

Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel

She could list them all, alphabetically, in order of movie release, by  favorites, chronologically,and in every other conceivable  way.

But what she had never been able to do was to answer the question:

Which Princess are you?

Every BabyGirl had one Princess she related to the most.  But she didn’t.  And this distressed her greatly.  She didn’t feel she was like any of them and perhaps she never would have until the day her Daddy opened her eyes and her heart to the answer.

“BabyGirl, you aren’t like any of the Princesses,” her Daddy said, seeing her sitting on the floor in her nursery with a most forlorn look on her face. “You’re like all of them.  Only better.”

She looked up at her Daddy with confusion as to what he meant.

“You are curious like Ariel, brave like Mulan, friendly like Snow White, hard-working like Cinderella, a dreamer like Aurora, accepting like Belle, clever like Jasmine, compassionate like Pocahontas, determined like Tiana and adventurous like Rapunzel,” her Daddy explained. “Which Princess are you?  You are Daddy’s Princess and someday, Disney will make a movie about you.”

She looked at her Daddy with eyes that were great big and wide, not just for the enormous compliment he paid her little heart, but also because he actually remembered all the Princesses.

“It may take you a lifetime to realize it, but you have the Princess trait,” her Daddy said softly.  “And the reason why I know this is because, like all the Disney Princesses, you don’t know it about yourself.”
