Princess or a "nerd"

The question is.........



Am I raising a PRINCESS?



Maggie found my heels and walked around in them for quite some time.
Please note the "form" in which she holds her little purse. So prim and proper.
She spends much of each day INSISTING on putting my yaw yaws on my feet for me.
Or......a "NERD"?
This girl LOVES the computer. She sneaks on it any chance she gets.
The fact that I left it so unattended was like her greatest dream come true.


Here she's watching Hamlet with her Daddy.
He's bound and determined to make her a Shakespeare scholar just like him.
Or is it a Nerdincess? Whatever it is, I sure do love her.

There's NOTHING nerdy about Shakespeare! And, it may even help her get into college one day!

I swear, every kid in this world becomes obsessed with high heels at that age. Tatum and Dane both clompity clomped around in my heels from 18 months to 2 years. :) PS--If she's raised in the Shumway family, she'll be a proud nerdy princess. :)))

For sure, the fetish for shoes continues! I love the look on her face, the body twist to look at the camera - she is a heart stealer! She has mine! What a cutie.
Beside a little or lot of Shakespeare, makes sure she reads -many, outloud, to her self, etc. - as she grows up. That is the sure formula to getting into college! I watched "The Ben Carson Story" with Cuba Gooding, Jr. on Saturday, based on a true story. His success was because he learned the love of reading and classical music! Good movie.

Shakespeare is music to princesses. Culture is good for us all! Maggie is darling.

the two aren't mutually exclusive. Look at Ella Enchanted! Look at Belle! She'd be in great company, and my two fave princesses of all time, because of their braininess!

Definitely a princess!! Although I think there is a little white and nerdy in everyone, even an adorable little princess.
