Help me visit Paris!

This TB used to be part of a lock & key pair of TBs, but someone stole them before they were ever logged...so I'm repurposing them. If the original ever shows up and you are trying to log it, you can either throw it away or you can contact me and I'll send an SASE for you to mail me the tag back.
My mission is to visit families all over the globe, with at least one stop in Paris to visit the Eiffel Tower.
The name of this is something I say to my daughter often. Children grow up too fast. My daughter, like most young girls, went through her "Princess Phase"...obsessing about all the princesses, knowing their names and back stories and associated Princes or heroic men. She amassed a great number of these little figurines to play with...every character from almost every Disney princess movie in existence. Her favorite was Cinderella and she had several of her, in various outfits and poses.
Then she got a little older and pretty much 'outgrew' this phase almost overnight. While I was never a huge fan of the Disney princesses, it made me a little sad to think of her outgrowing anything, moving on to other interests. I'm attaching one of her figurines, giving it a life beyond our home. Most of them ended up at friends' homes, in a donation box to Goodwill, or even in a trash can. This Cinderella will hopefully travel the world, finding other families with children to remind them of how they should always enjoy the moment, since those children will inevitably outgrow whatever they may be obsessed with now.
We let things go too easily sometimes...but just holding this cheap and kind of ugly plastic toy brought back a million memories of my daughter when she was 3 and 4 years old. It's tough to let go of such a silly thing, but we have more still - I hold on to some of these things so that I will always have a reminder of days past.
I once said "stop growing up!" to my daughter when she was maybe three years old and her response was "I can't stop. I don't know how!"
