SLEEPING BEAUTY MALEFICENT DRAGON
,

This blog is dedicated to our Daughter Emerald Elaine Diaz who is now THREE YEARS OLD! My buggy who now wants to be called Emerald Elaine. 

Three is a magic number according to Schoolhouse Rock and powerful and perfect per the Omne trium perfectum. In photography, the rule of thirds is always best, there’s 3 sides to a perfect triangle, the 3 primary colors of blue, yellow and red of color theory, the 3 little pigs, a 3 ring circus, the 3 stooges, 3 French hens, 3 Billy goats gruff, Goldilocks and the 3 bears, 3 feet in a yard and the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. 

You love snacks, pouches, bananas, strawberries, yogurt and cinnamon for breakfast. Some other favorites include daddies pancakes, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, licorice, anything chocolate or sweet, cucumbers, watermelon, edamame, macaroni and cheese and we cannot forget our Dutch bros on Friday’s for smoothies.  You also love all smell good stuff. Tons of lipglosses, perfumes and especially soap! You can’t seem to get enough of that sniffing and collecting. I sense a soap photo shoot in the mere future. 

Emerald, you’re a huge Disney fan! At the moment one of your favorites is Sleeping Beauty. According to you, you’re Aurora and Maleficent, dad is the dragon, Caleb is Prince Phillip and mom is Maleficent’s piggies. Thanks Emerald. 😭 Your favorite part is the ending when Maleficent turns into an evil dragon.  Come to find out, you seem to love villains best in most movies. Very interesting. Lol. Ursula the octopus, the crocodile in Peter Pan (tick tock), Monstro the whale in Peter Pan, Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty and the Evil Queen in Snow White.  

At the moment, coincidently your favorite color is Emerald Green. You also like pink and baby blue.  For your photo shoot, I wanted to focus on Sleeping Beauty and the colors pink and blue for the dress like in the movie.  “Make it pink, make it blue.”  The fairies Fauna, Merryweather and Flora debated which color was best throughout the movie.  Since you’re turning three, I figured that pink and blue mixed together creates purple would be best with the theme.  Emerald, we love you and can’t wait to enjoy your third year with you. Stay chic, smart and fabulous.
