A Princess at Rest

Reilly has dropped her nap a bit lately, but some days she really does need that rest time in the day.  Luckily, we can both usually tell when these days are, and she will nap willingly when she knows she needs extra rest.  Today, she stayed up from nap. Then at 3:30 she was getting agitated about something and I told her to go rest on my bed for a few minutes to cool off.  After a few minutes, she was very quiet.  I went in my room, to find this:



A true princess.  Tulle surrounding her entire being, and her gloved hands folded carefully under her head.  After she gets home from school, she immediately goes into her room and changes into one of several princess gowns.  She insists she is "cold" if she doesn't have her elbow-length gloves on.  Usually there is a crown on her head, which she always remembers to remove before nap and bedtime.  She slept for a few hours like this before coming out telling us she felt "so refreshed".

She is such a little princess, this Belle!
