La trona de la niña pronto se conveirtía en trono! La reina pequena les ordenaba a todos que cumplieran sus deseos! "Tengo hambre, Tengo sed! Cambieme el pañal! Una déspota verdadera! Pero todo cambia con una sonrisa incomparable, y la palabra, "papi!"

The high chair quickly changed into a throne! The little queen ordered everyone to fullfill her needs! "I'm hungry, I'm thirsty, Change my diaper. A true despot! Everything changes with that incomparable smile, and the word, "dada!"

This is called "Trono". Also, it is not "se dije" but "Se dice que..." Hi, Sakis! - cogumela, Jan 9, 2011
'...that here on this throne once reposed...' I don't think 'relaxed' is quite right for this sentence, Sakis :) - galsally, Jan 9, 2011
