Self-image is very important.
How to define yourself and see yourself is something we seem to be focusing on a lot lately.
Cases in point:
1. Allianna is NOT a princess.
"I am NOT a princess!"
Exasperatedly denied while presenting herself like this:
Don't even bother with the "m'lady" routine. She will not be amused. But her parents will be, so they'll keep it up for a good five minutes any time the shining purple appears. Aaahhh fun.
2. Simon IS Darth Vader.
Very Seriously.
IS he?
He's scary. He's serious.
What calls it into question?
The pink beads? . . . the backwards i'm-a-summer-reader conductor's hat? . . . the cougar seal?
3. Nimbus is depressed.
Notice the other cat hanging from the noose.
On that note, g'night y'all.
More info--the next day. Simon has a deep love for "mama kitty" who's the one hanging. He also has a deep love for flying things. So he combined the two, giving his kitty a spin on the hook that is normally reserved for his circling biplane. Nimbus, however, has no way of knowing that this is a good thing.

Hilarious. I love the darth vader look, and who is hanging the cat?
Emily, you are too funny. Great pics!
Oh that was a good laugh this fine morn. Thanks friend.
There are too many questions.
So... what IS Alli? Just Fancy Alli?
Simon-um, the glasses? Where, pray tell, have such specs come from?
And finally, as one Sheralie before me wondered, who is the one threatening Nimbus's life in this fashion?
I almost peed my pants reading this! Kids are the weirdest things, huh? Weird, but very cute and entertaining.
Seeing Nimbus on that table with that blankie reminded me of the scene in Toy Story when Buzz is being forced to play tea party. Also, Nimbus looks way bigger - is he?
Shiny purple is Alli's color-- she is one of the few who can pull off shiny purple AND earrings AND a tiara.
Self identity is a delightfully complex thing, no?
It is just wrong that Simon and Sam can't be buddies. He reminds me so much of my boy.
Love the denial of Princess-hood. My daughter would totally wear that outfit!
Let me know if you decide to participate in Ramadan. I'd welcome the company.
