Why Alayna IS Sleeping Beauty


For her third birthday (belated, because Stacy's pregnancy kept us home bound for a while) Great Grandpa and Grandma Onines gave Alayna a real Disney princess crown. This gift was, and still is, a HIT. It comes with a magic wand. Using the primary colors, Alayna can change the color on the wand and presses a button that transmits a signal to the crown. The wand and crown flash white with a chime and changes the color of her crown jewel to match the wand. Each color is assigned a Princess; Snow White red, Sleeping Beauty pink, Jasmin purple, Cinderella blue, Ariel green, Belle yellow, and princess orange.

Alayna plays "Sleeping Beauty" with her best friend, Alex. She lays down, with a flower in her hands, and pretends to sleep. Alex gives her a kiss on the check and she wakes up. This is one of the reasons he invited his princess to see the castle with him for his third birthday.Alayna likes to run up to one of us and grab our hands saying, "I am Sleeping Beauty, dance with me." She will proceed to dance and sing the song from Sleeping Beauty's dance with her Prince with modified lyrics:

I know you, I walked with you once upon a dream.
I know you, believe in your eyes is a miracle, a dream.

And repeat, again and again.
