It is so much fun to dress a little girl! Other moms of girls had told me it would be this way; and you know, they're right! I feel like I'm playing with dolls again when I get to dress my daughter in her finery. :)
Today Moriah got to wear some special clothes to our church service, and I had to take some pictures. Not that the pictures I took can capture all her cuteness... :)
One of the pretty items was a cuddly pink sweater that Grandma Fisher brought for Moriah. It was made by a lady in her home church in California, and it is so soft--the white trim especially. Plus, the adorable little kitty cat buttons on it add to the charm. I was glad it was a little cool this morning so that Moriah got to wear this. :)
Moriah's dress is one that I used to put on my all-time favorite doll, Peaches. She is an old ceramic doll with cracks in the finish of her face and hands, but I loved her. Still do, in fact.
I'm not sure where the dress came from, but I do vividly remember using it for Peaches. And now, to put it on my own real live "doll" is an amazing feeling.
Even Moriah's feet got covered in a special way today, with tights from her Aunt Kim. The tiny shoes printed on them are just the icing on the cake.
Tonight I'm grateful for the gift of a daughter...and for the reassurance that sometimes, dreams really do come true! :)
Adorable :)
