Rose has been thoroughly enjoying her Christmas dress-up clothes collection. I have been loving them too! It makes me want to go to Goodwill at Halloween every year to stock up on fun costumes. Every day Rose goes over to the dress-up box and picks out a dress, shoes, and various accessories. She places all of these sparkly items into a pile and then methodically layers them onto her person. I’m gathering quite a photo collection of amazing Rosella, Rosepunzel, Briar Rose, etc, because I can’t resist taking a picture whenever she concocts a new outfit.
She started insisting upon not one, but TWO crowns, placed on top of her white hat and a Rafael ninja turtle mask, with the fleece Rapunzel hair underneath it all.
Her biggest dress for the win.
One day this week, Rose asked me to dress up with her. I had to inform her that her dresses were all too small for me, so she did my hair and accessorized me as best she could without a dress. Then I remembered that I do have a few dresses of my own, and of course she wanted me to put one on. But when I went to get them out, they were not where I thought they were. I’m finding that I’ve forgotten the location of pretty much everything I put away/organized before I got sick and pregnant last year. It’s like trying to remember a previous life when I look for things: “where would old-Shaina have hidden that?” We spent nearly an entire afternoon searching the house to find my dresses, and finally discovered them in a box under the stairs. Then we had some fun.
My old Boone Home dresses are still awesome…except as a nursing mother I have to say that the back didn’t close all the way when I put it on this time, ha ha.
Rose said “I’m Princess Rose and you’re Queen Mommy! Daddy is your king and Jay is my prince.”
