Getting Back in to MLP

My niece and I used to watch MLP together, and I became a huge fan of the show. Shortly after watching the Crystal Empire episodes, she came to me and said "Uncle ScoutSpirit, I'm too old for My Little Pony." After that, I tried to keep up but just fell off. Recently, while my niece was over for my birthday, she asked if we could watch MLP together. We watched some of the new episodes, and I remembered why I loved the show. So now I'm back into MLP. How crazy is it that Twilight Sparkle is a princess now?
