I wouldn't be too worried, she doesn't look too amused about it.
In fact she looks downright pissed. |

Girls ( mostly ) do girl things. Boys ( mostly ) do boy things. It has been happening for a few thousand years that way.

Yeah my wife and I said the same thing. It ended before she was born.
ETA: I don't have any princess-esque pictures but...

She's two, she won't remember anything about that.
Just talk to the aunt about it next time. If the aunt doesn't listen, then don't leave your daughter with her. |

Give up now. Not worth the fight. No matter how many times you ask and tell people not to buy princess stuff, people will do it. Tried that route with both my daughters. No such luck.

Might be time to have a serious heart to heart with the aunt if this isn't where you want your child heading... down the road of "Toddlers and Tiaras"/Honeyboo-boo type derp.
Nip it in the bud! Nip it in the bud!  Hurt feeling and scorched earth heal over time; especially when you really don't GAF if they like your attitude or not ...  |

First I named my girls gender neutral names (Kaycee, Taylor). Painted the baby room blue and then we rough housed everyday. They had bigger biceps than the boys in jr high.
Then the puberty queen visited and all of my preplanning went to shit.

The best princess related thing with my daughter was during our trip to Disney when she was 4. The wife signed her up for a breakfast with the princesses. Mommy had a hangover that morning and I took the daughter. Let me tell you Daddy likey how the princesses dressed. The wife apologized for me having to go. I simply told her she owed me. lol.

I despise Mickey now. Early in our kids lives some caring relative thought we should have one of those singing toothbrush holders for the kids that came in the shape of Mickey Mouse.. The ditty was so bad and drove us bonkers that in short order we hid Mickey from the kids, " Brush Brush Brush Your Teeth Morning Noon and Night Up and Down and All Around To Keep Your Smile Bright. Uh ha!" Argh. We couldn't TAKE IT ANY MORE!!!!!!!! The things still stashed in some closet somewhere in the house. |

Enjoy it while you can. I watched my 16 year old daughter drive off in her car for the first time yesterday.
Man, where does the time go and when do the conflicting emotions of joy and indescribable pain hit equilibrium. 
Shortly after my kids were born a man I heard a man on the radio say something I'll never forget. "Kids are a parents greatest source of joy and pain". He wasn't kidding. |
