When we took the kids to see Frozen last year, we all connected to it immediately. We loved the music. We loved the story. We loved the girl power. But deep down, we really appreciated Elsa, the ice queen, and her struggles. I thought about it almost immediately. Elsa has magical powers that make her different. She can turn things into ice. She tries to not "let them in, don't let them see" her differences. What she eventually learns is her life is burdened when she choses to "conceal, don't feel." Once she chooses to be her true self, she learns to take advantage of her differences. It's celebrated by her sister and her kingdom. I drew conclusions pretty quickly about how Elsa had to realize she's different and it's okay. Her inner debate ended up freezing her kingdom for a while. Most kids with differences don't have such an outward struggle.Jordan recently realized her connection to Elsa. I never pushed it on her. But this week, when we started talking about Disney princesses, she had a big 'aha' moment. I'm trying to prepare her for a super huge birthday surprise to visit the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique in Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom Park. Jordan is a very lucky kid who has celebrated at the salon for her third, fifth and seventh birthdays. I had told her the salon was fully booked and she wouldn't be able to go for her ninth birthday. But I'm totally surprising her with a special trip. In advance, I wanted to make sure she had a surprise outfit in the style of her favorite princess. The problem? I wasn't sure which princess is her favorite. So I casually asked and Jordan thought long and hard about it. That's when she brought up Elsa. After a few moments she had an Elsa realization. Then Jordan talked about how the princess knows what it's like to be different... And then she "Let It Go." (I love excuses to sing that song.)Yup. My daughter knows her Disney facts. And I'm super impressed that she figured out how Elsa connects to her own life.I know some parents try to steer their kids away from the princess culture. My rough and tumble, sporty girl has a very dressy side. I love to celebrate all of it. I think it's very cool for her to have two awesome Disney characters to connect with: Nemo and Elsa. Our visit to Walt Disney World will give us a chance to celebrate both characters in some really fun ways. I can't wait.
