Fashion Diva

Abby does not wear dresses in the summer when it is nice and warm out.  Instead, she prefers to wait until the middle of winter to wear her summer clothes.  When she wakes up in the morning, she gets dressed in her normal clothing for the day.  This set of clothes lasts from between 1-2 hours.  Then she spies a dress and decides that it is time to shuck the day's clothing and wear a summery, breezy outfit.  This happens nearly everyday.  She has about 5 different favorite dresses that she rotates as the fancy strikes her.  This first one makes the cut every once in awhile, but it is not a complete favorite.  It's still fun to be a princess every once in awhile.
The Indian dress I made her for Halloween is in the top two.  Ana likes to wear hers as well when Abby decides to shuck traditional winter clothing.  Of course one does not wear warm clothes underneath while wearing this or any other dress.  I made them wear warm clothes underneath for Halloween trekking though.
Abby didn't feel like posing for this one, but here is the #3 favorite choice.  She claimed this from Ana's side of the closet, which is okay since Ana does not ever want to wear it.  Purple velvet.  At least this one is warmer than her others.
Below is #1 favorite "dress".  It is actually a shirt that Ana got in a pile of hand-me-downs.  Abby fell in love with it the moment she spied the jewel buttons on front (doesn't show well here in this picture) and wears it at every moment possible - when not sporting any other dresses.  I guess every girl needs a little black dress. 
Sometimes we forget about dresses and go for the superhero look by wearing underwear on the outside of our clothing and on top of our heads.  Why not?
And this last picture of Abby is of a dragon she drew this morning on our little white board while I was doing school with the other two.  I was impressed.  This is the first time she's tried drawing one.  It's complete with wings, spikes and fire coming from its mouth.  She was so pleased with herself.  She hadn't changed out of her traditional clothing yet.
And finally here's a picture of Joey for you since I haven't talked about him lately.  I keep trying to get a picture/video of him while he's doing this, but the moment I get the camera on, he turns around and sits here like this.  He does not like the second hand on the clock pictured above him.  He stands up on his hind feet and tries with all his might to get at the second hand that keeps ticking away behind the glass.  He hasn't been successful yet.  It amuses me to see him try.

    Looks like the princess's crown is so heavy she can't hold her head up. What a cutie! And such a dignified cat Joey is! Love that dragon too! MomK

    Have you read the book Mennonite in a Little Black Dress? I've just read the first chapter and it's a real hoot. MomK

A Tribute To My Mom

I am undertaking a three week challenge as a way of support for my dear mother.  I would include a picture here of her if I could, but she would not appreciate that (though I do have permission to write this post) Years ago, as a wee little lass, she had the misfortune of contracting polio.  While she was able to regain normal function and led a very normal life for most of her years, polio has reared its ugly head once more in her life, this time in the form of post-polio syndrome.  Click here for a link to just what post-polio is.  For those of you who prefer a one sentence summary of PPS, it's mainly a continual weakening of the muscles that were affected when polio was first contracted - it can range from mild to quite debilitating.  My mom has been struggling with full blown PPS for a couple of years now.  There is really no cure at all, few medicines to help, just learning to listen to your body in what it now has decided that it can no longer do and trying to keep your activ

Abby's New Look

Image
We've had a busy last week or so.  Here's some big news in Abby's life.  She lost her two front teeth. They came out about four days apart.  She truly lost the second tooth and wasn't able to put it under her pillow for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy apparently isn't as vigiliant about leaving money when there is no actual tooth to collect.  But after a few days, our tooth fairy remembered and finally slipped some money under Abby's pillow along with an extra quarter for having to wait so long for her to decide to show up.  At the same time, David had a tooth under his pillow for about three weeks waiting for the tooth fairy.  The tooth fairy finally had to visit during the day when he wasn't in his room, when she finally remembered to pick up the tooth.  It's hard on the tooth fairy to show up when David stays up later than the tooth fairy does these days.  Here's Abby's new look: She's also delighted with the fact that she doesn't ha
