It's so easy to talk to him . I didn't expect that . Last night was a lot of fun , and as I finish the final touches on Ayrie before reveal the dress , I can't help but feel that much closer to her now that I know that I wasn't going crazy when she was a tiny baby . He was equally enthusiastic about me as he was about the twins , and I loved that he gave me just as much information about himself and his family . Knightly , Tessa , and Maria are sitting on the bed with Aizen who is already dressed and ready to go . They're all excited to see her reaction and the dress itself . They all have their phones out and I can't believe how happy I am considering things haven't exactly been all that great . I bring the trunk over to the center of the room and face it so that they can see her reaction first . Ayrie loves this thing . I use it when I want her costumes to be a secret . She laughs jumping up and down excitedly . " Ready ? " " Yes , Mommy Hurry , she pats the top . I pop the latches up and open the box . Her little face lights up and she screams before jumping on me hard enough to knock me back . " On ! Please , Mommy ! On ! " " Okay , " I laugh matching her excitement . She runs into the closet to wait for me as if it somehow will make me go faster . " That is the cutest thing ever ! " Tessa coos . " Hurry up , Phoebe . I want to see " Relax " Knightly rolls his eyes , I take the dress and go into the closet to put it on my screaming toddler who is beyond happy about this . I help her into her lights and comfy sparkly shoes since we are going to be walking a lot today . When I finally zip her up , she hops over to the mirror and lets out another baby raptor screech making everyone outside laugh . " Ready ? " she calls out and it's followed by enthusiastic hurries . I take my camera and watch as she runs out and is immediately bombarded with the reaction she wants . " Wings ! " " I'm coming . I laugh and lift her up onto the coffee table . " Picture first , " " Fine ," she rolls her eyes . I take a few steps back and hold my camera up for her . She takes a knee spreading the dress out around her and gives me her best good girl smile . She then stands and spins around a couple of times before she gives me her favorite high kick pose . " Okay , try again with the wings ? " " Yes, please ," she jumps up and down clapping her hands . I help her into them and adjust them before pining them to the dress . " So pretty , " I turn them on without telling her . She does her favorite Tinkerbell poses and then waves me over to her so I can show her . Her little eyes widen when she sees that they light up " Good ? " " I love you ," she screams wrapping her arms around me so hard I almost drop my camera . " You are the bestest , Mommy , " " Thank you , " I laugh trying my best not to cry . " I'm a fairy princess , " she says matter - of - factly " Last thing . " I say turning back to face Knightly . He holds up the gift box with the little tiara . " For me ? " she asks looking up at him . I take my camera and record their interaction . I don't hear what he tells her as I move around them and stop next to Aizen to see him open the box . She looks up at him like it's the most magical thing she's ever been presented with . Laria both gasp She doesn't jump on him or scream the way she did with me but she lowers her head for him . Tessa and Maria when he tips her head back and slips the tiara onto her head right where I bundled her curls on the top . She hugs him as he continues to whisper into her ear . " It's just a dress , " Aizen whispers and grins when I look over at him . " My Shark Boy costume was your best work , Mommy " " Our secret , " I hold my pinky up . He links his through mine and I offer him the box with the custom Mickey ears I made for him . He crawls onto my lap and lifts the lid . " Mad Hatter , " his eyes light up just like her . Successfully unlocked ! " Want to wear it ? " " Yes , " he nods . and I didn't want it to be too big for him since I was adding the ears to it . It fits him perfectly . He's wearing dark blue jeans shirt with the Mad Hatter costume printed on it . He didn't want a costume because it was for girls , but he agreed to the T- shirt . So as long as I didn't make a big deal out of the occasion . My son is very good negociator . I " Can I get a picture with you both without you fighting me ? " I ask " Fine , " they both groan . He slides off my lap and goes over to her . The two of them tuck their hands behind their back as they stand next to each other stiffly . " What happened to the happy faces and the poses ? " Tessa throws her hands in the air . They both roll their eyes at the same and it takes Knightly everything in him not to laugh . He ends up coughing . " Say , Disney . I try to get them to smile . The two of them smile and say Disney as Inap a couple of pictures . " Your dumb wing is poking me , " Aizen is the first to break character . " Your dumb ears are dumb , she fires back . " No , you're dumb ," he glares at her . I clear my throat and the two of them step away from one another . " And there it is ," I roll my eyes . " We should get going . " I turn around to face Knightly to see he's dressed amazingly like always . The rock superstar " You're going to wear that ? " "You don't like it ? " he asks . " We're going to get recognized so fast , I shake my head . " Why don't you help him with that and we'll get the kids settled ? " Maria takes Ayrie . " Look at you . Grandpa is going to love this ," " I wanna show him , " Ayrie hugs her back " Okay , " I agree . " You're going to dress me ? " he smirks . " I'm just going to . " I pull on his denim vest and he lets me remove it . " Let's go see what you're hiding in your massive closet , " He follows me into his room . His closet is the size of our room . It looks like a small boutique store . " My Mom- " " No , this is good , We have options , " I laugh . " Don't you have a big closet with a lot of things in it ? " " I keep some of the stuff I get attached to , but no . My clothes are changing constantly . I wear it once or twice and send most of it to the girls on the Rez . The same with the kid's clothes ," I say flipping through his shirts . " Everything in here is black ," A
