3-year-old gets a Princess Tiana doll and her reaction will melt your heart
"She has chocolate skin like me!" little Madison said in the video.
One mom filmed her 3-year-old's adorable response to receiving a Princess Tiana doll.
Janess Strickland of Houston, Texas, told ABC News that she gave the doll to her daughter Madison Jade as a gift on April 13 after picking her up from school.
"I love her so much because she has chocolate skin like me!" Madison said in the video.
Strickland said she bought the Tiana doll after Madison said a boy at school asked why her skin was darker than his.
"He's just being innocent, he's 3 as well," Strickland said. "I don't think he meant anything by it. I just told her that her skin is beautiful and that's what makes her special and I told her there were princesses that have chocolate skin as well."
Strickland posted a video of the moment Madison received her new Tiana doll onto her Instagram page.
"I think it's a teachable moment for people," Stickland said. "It was something that was so simple for her, but I think she'll remember it."
Strickland said Madison has since been watching "The Princess and the Frog" on repeat and hopes to meet Tiana at Disney World someday.
"I think she would pass out, but I think that would be a good next step," Strickland joked.
