No princesses here, for now

It may be a benefit of having an older brother whose two great loves are currently tow trucks and dinosaurs, but my two year old daughter is not interested in princesses.

She is most enamored these days with Peppa Pig, Magnatiles, and lining up small figures (Playmobile, Little People, etc.) on different stairs - a makeshift dollhouse.

She does have some dolls, but doesn't prefer them any more to other stuffed animals. She doesn't insist on girly clothes, though will preen in front of the mirror and smooth out a dress if she finds herself in one.

We've kept her hair short, which suits her fiery personality. We also don't call her a princess, as she is petite, but isn't really demure and dainty. She looks like "Boo" from "Monsters, Inc." but takes after "Jack Jack" in "The Incredibles," roaring at and overcoming the bad guy, then smiling at and cooing at mom. We call her the boss, and the CEO.

She's a force to be reckoned with, our daughter. If she does later become a princess, she'll be the one who singlehandedly saves the kingdom, probably by transforming into a dragon, taking flight, and using the advantage of fire-breathing. She'll return in time for an afternooon nap.
