We did breakfast w/Cinderella in 2003, when Kristin was three. And yes, the sticker shock took a long time to get over.
But......
Kristin got antsy at the table during the meal. And so she asked if she could play on a trio of small steps that were right beside us. We said yes.
She sat on the extreme left of these little steps, putting her elbows on her knees and her chin in her palms.
Waiting.
And 10 seconds later, unbeknownst to her, Cinderella herself entered at the top of these three small steps. She looked down and saw this little blond toe-head on the step.
And Princess Cinderella sat on the exact right of the very same step. Dress be damned, she got right down there.
Kristin looked over and her eyes got as large as proverbial saucers.
Cindy patted the spot next to her on the step, inviting Princess Kristin to sli-i-i-i-i-de over.
They had quite the chat. We took, oh, about 593 pictures of this brief encounter.
And I shut up about the pricetag forevermore.
