Pinkland

Everyone knows how obsessed Jasmine is with pink. Since it's been a long time since my last blog I thought I'd give you an overview of a few happenings in pinkland.


Jasmine has taken to getting up during the night when the whole house is sleeping, running to the laundry, turning on the lights, dragging her step stool in, fishing through the dirty laundry until she finds her favourite princess fairy dress (which is only ever on or in the laundry basket - as soon as it's washed it's back on again without delay), puts it on, then runs back to her bedroom and climbs back into bed and sleeps the rest of the night in her filty, stinky fairy dress.


The other day when watching an episode of Sesame Street Jasmine pointed out a pink monster and said "Mummy, were you ever pink?" 
I said "No, I was never pink."
"Was your hair ever pink?"
"No, I've never had pink hair." (Pretty much every other colour of the rainbow though!) 
"Mummy, when I get bigger, can I be pink?"
...explanation about why we are born a colour and that's the colour we'll always be, and that people can be born lots of different colours and all colours are lovely and beautiful...
"But I want to be pink!"
...short explanation of why she can't be pink...
"BUT I WANT TO!!!"
...melt down.


Last night; "Mummy, when I get bigger I'm going to be a princess and live in a pink castle with a pink car, and a pink roof and a sparkly pink cat and a pink dog that licks me".
