When Ben & I were engaged, I walked out to my car one day after work to discover a framed scene from "Beauty & the Beast" with a little love note written on the picture where Ben claimed he was the beast and I was the beauty... I don't know how much of that part is true, but it was a cute and unexpected surprise. Then, before I had Baylee, Ben wanted Baylee and I to have matching bathrobes. We already had a little yellow duck one for her, so he bought another one, cut the duck out, and sewed it onto a robe for me (actually I think my mom sewed it on) and gave it to me for my birthday. So, the other robe wouldn't go to waste, my mom found a little piece of Belle fabric to sew onto it and patch it up.
It's no surprise to me that Beauty & the Beast is Baylee's new favorite movie (and we are so glad to have something new to watch instead of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse over and over and over and over...). Everyday when Baylee gets out of the shower she wants her Belle robe on. Even after I am finally able to get her to take it off long enough to put a shirt on, she wants it right back on over her shirt. One day I was doing her hair and was going to put a gold star clip in it. Of course she didn't want the gold one, she wanted the pink that didn't match. I told her that princesses wear gold, and now that she knows Belle wears gold, she always wants a gold star clip in her hair. Shes always talking about princesses wearing gold and Belle's gold dress. She loves to talk about the "Beauty & the Beast" movie all day, and has to watch it at least twice a day. She loves to repeat over and over about the "prince flew", referring to when Beast changes back into the prince, and "Beast mad" or "Beast hurt", and many other parts of the movie. Here's my favorite, though. We also have a "Beauty & the Beast" book from when I was little, and another book of Disney movies with B & the B in it. Anytime she gets to the part where Belle and the Beast dance (in the books or movie), she jumps up and starts trying to immitate. I tried to get her to do it on camera, so here's the best shot I could get:
Baylee usually dances on her toes and sings over and over "and the beast". She also talked Ben into dancing with her the other day, I thought this was too cute and sweet:
We love the joy Baylee brings to our lives and she has a way of keeping us smiling! So there you have our little princess, Belle (but her name is really Baylee).

We love Disney Princess too! That's fun about Baylee liking Belle.
We wish we had been able to spend more time with you! Annie had a blast. I love the videos of Baylee dancing. Ben's a great dancer, too!
Love it! We totally relate around here. In fact Elyette just watched your videos with me and got really excited when Ben started singing... she's dancing while singing it right now. Oh and we totally can relate to your newer post about Baylee's outfit almost fitting finally. Elyette is currently wearing 18month capris from last year...she's 2 and half! Always been petite, but hey, that way they can wear their clothes longer right :P
