Picture day tomorrow, and Audrey has selected this dress which my mother made for me for my eighth birthday. She looked at herself in the mirror and said, "Now I look like someone from the olden days, who works in an office!"
And when I laughed, the dust and cobwebs fell all around me.
Actually, what I remember doing when I first put on this dress was pretending to give a lecture to a Biology 101 class. That's what I thought the dress looked made for. What made the look slightly less sophisticated in my case was the knee-high white socks and blue sandals I paired with it.
And you know what? I just realized Audrey has no shoes to wear with that dress tomorrow. She'll have to go in the 3-sizes-too-big-but-she-loves-them-anyway black Mary Janes. And white socks (but at least not with sandals.)
Calvin's shirt is pressed and his Dinosaur clip-on-tie is ready to go.

For us it doesn't matter how old or infrequent the posts are, just that you do them now and then. This is priceless! It reminds me of when Ruth was 4 and dressing up for Halloween for the first time. She wanted to be a "pioneer" because we had been reading Laura I. Wilder books. I made her a poke bonnet and an apron and she was thrilled.
