We're always coloring around here!
We go through coloring books and Crayola's like some people go through toilet paper!
This morning our masterpieces are from the Disney coloring book Aladdin.
Jasmine and her prince are flying away on a magic carpet. This encourages lots of questions about carpets and flying and magic.
Jellibean wants to know why they are called "caaaaaar-pets" if they are not cars or related to cars. 'Cause cars can not fly you know!
Bubblegum wants to know how magic makes a carpet fly. (Ouch, my brain!)
Ummm...because it's magic!
Then Jellibean asks incredulously "Why does Jasmine have her belly button showing?"
Yes, around here, if it's not a bathing suit, it doesn't show your belly! And if it's going to say "JUICY," it's not going to be plastered across your backside! In fact, by the time she was 2, Jellibean was able to answer our question "What do you do if a boy wants to see your belly button?" with "NO WAY YUCKY BOY!"
I pondered how to answer the question about Jasmine in language a 3 year old will understand.
"Maybe her mom never told her she shouldn't show her belly to those boys!"
Jellibean considered this answer, but wasn't fully satisfied.
"Maybe she's hot,mom. Cause when I'm hot I can show my belly button."
"Only if we're at home. Then that's ok."
Luckily she agreed with me.
A few seconds later Jellibean explodes with what MUST be the only reason a princess would show her belly.
"I know" she shouts! "Her clothes are getting too small for her wear anymore!"
