Of A Princess?

Oh „boy“, so much cliché! Niece´ll get this “Princess-rack” in pink for Christmas, I just couldn´t resist.
With a pic of herself (I still have to add).
With her name being Emperor… is this a tad too much?

Someone gave her a pink vacuum cleaner, btw, so pink it seems to be.
And cliché, too! ;-)

Really had to unwrap what I wanted to give Niece last year for Christmas (which just wasn´t).
A Lion-bonnet from our Christmas-markets. And a microwave-Lion to keep her warm.
The little Lion (by zodiac sign)…

Funny how this animal seems to dominate our lives!
I just ordered a pink sweater for myself, saying “Löwin”/Lioness (the only reason I accepted pink!) from our Shirt-Shop (the one where Ingo uses my name, cause it´s easier, and they can´t remember what my name is....) that sells all all this Lion-stuff cause we live in the City of Henry the Lion.
Ingo just got a super-cool black shirt saying Löwenstadt and giving our position via coordinates. Will check via GPS!

Pic to come!

And we got a new “hobby”:
Who´d ever think of this? When Bro told me years ago he and his wife love to do puzzles, I thought, oh, how boring are you guys?
But nah!
When cooking something that takes as long as Grünkohl, it´s just a great thing to do!
And with a euro for each it´s inexpensive, too.
And later I can give the Maus-puzzles to Niece.

Seesh. Also got a book for her. About a girl named like her. A short story.
Should´ve taken a closer look (thought Ingo did!).

It´s about a young boy who becomes her friend. She talks of how beautiful the sun´s rays are, that she´d like to catch them in her hand, what a trip.
Yah. That girl is an heroin-addict and in the end dies, despite the boy´s parent´s try to get her out.

Do I want to be an Aunt who comes (in say 8 years) with a book like that? I could rise my finger to it, too!
What do I do, throw it away? Was a euro only, too…
Seesh. Guess another reason I decided not to have kids. So much to be afraid of…

But for now I only have to be afraid of her taking the Princess-thing too serious! ;-)

I don't think you need to worry ... by the time she grows up she'll probably HATE pink!!! But she'll love that present now - just as well she doesn't read your blog!!!

Nah, I´m not afraid of pink ;-)
But sure of a potential drug-problem... The book is about a heroin-addict (with her name), so now she won´t understand. Maybe a book she can read in 8 years (if I want to be an Aunt like that).
She´ll outgrow that pink rack with age 4, I suppose, so, no worries ;-)
