Obsession?


Ella loves Princess Ariel. Several times a day she requests that I sing the Ariel song (Part of Your World) or read the Ariel book to her. Occasionally I can coax her to listen to the story of a different princess--usually Cinderella. Ella now refuses to sleep or ride in the car without her princess book. It is an interesting comfort object, but if she is happy so am I.

Why the sudden interest in Ariel? It began when her loving father thought she would enjoy watching the movie since it has fish in it and Ella likes fish. He was right, she very much enjoyed the movie, but it was not the fish that she loved. Now when she talks one of us into letting her watch the princess movie (she tries every day) she wants us to skip the beginning of the movie and jump right to Ariel singing.

It is a cute little obsession she has. Cute until I go crazy from singing that song over and over...
