A few evenings ago, Ruby left it to me to choose her pajamas at bedtime. Choosing Ruby's clothing is a rare treat, so I of course chose the bright red organic Egyptian combed cotton bottoms and her Earthday in Central Park 2007 tee that I so love to see her in. (As seen above just after our evening walk.)
The next morning she was rummaging through the front closet and pulled out a purple dress from Aunt Jill that I estimated would fit her next summer. She pleaded that it would fit NOW and would I please help her to put it on NOW??!! So at the speed of lightening, I hemmed the back and waist a tad. When I was finished she RIPPED off her organic Egyptian combed cottons and virtually dove into the dress. When it was finally on she sighed deeply and said,
"Oh, Mama. I fell like myself again. I feel beautiful!"
Here is a shot of Ruby in the dress a little later at Riverside park.
