Despite holdups with DHS, we are still holding onto hope that the big day will be here soon. To get ready, Madi tried on "The Dress" that Megan has been telling her about it such lavish detail. Madi was all for it. Really, what little girl wouldn't want to dress like a princess for a day?!
We got the dress on her and her face was shining. But then... something began to happen. Her face began to wrinkle... her shoulders began to sag... you could almost see the dream of being a princess evaporate from her mind. Carefully, we took the dress off, hung it lovingly on the hanger and placed it in it's sacred spot in the closet to wait for the big day.
That's when Madi ever so carefully asked the question. "Do I have to wear that dress?" I should have known. The dress that had been such a hit with our fashion diva Megan, wasn't quite what no-nonsense Madi could tolerate. After a little more question and answer, it was the scratchy netting under the skirt that she didn't like. So we'll find something else for her wear. Hopefully something that will go with the scraped knees and resist whatever sweet she gets her hands on that day.
So here is a photo of Madi wearing "The Dress". We probably will never see her wear it again.

Maybe it is alright that she NOT want to wear "The Dress", that way it is Megan's special dress and "we" can find a special dress for Madi also. -- Aunt Jeni
