I really think it depends on how you model feminine behavior more than anything. My daughter is in a princess phase too, but I can see her beginning to grow out of it. I have a feeling that if I spent a lot of time preening in front of the mirror or placing a huge emphasis on my clothing and appearance, she would model that behavior.

I allow Disney movies in the house, but we don't have cable TV, so she is unexposed to commercials. That helps a lot. :)

I hear you on the Princess pull-ups though. We once spent an hour at a doctor's office, with her screaming naked in the corner because the only diaper they had in her size was Winne the Pooh. You'd think I'd just told her she was going to be wearing a burqa.

Hang in there!
