And when I read this bit, I realized WHY you stuck in my mind:

“And sitting there on the uncomfortable dressing room bench, weighed down by the pile of discards in my lap, I looked at Madi and I could see the child she was, and the girl she is, and the woman she will be– all of them there in that sweet face that I know as well as my own.”

I’ve experienced moments like this with my little girl, and you put into words that incredible feeling in a way I might never have been able to!

And yes, that dress suits Madi perfectly :-)

All success
Dr.Mani

I love the color and it looks great on her. I agree about the sleezy selection that the stores have now. The sad thing is – the majority of teens love that. And I hate to see it as a teacher.

I’m glad that you and Madi can shop together and enjoy it. Shopping with my mom is a pure chore. She and I never see eye-to-eye on anything. I’ll buy a new shirt for work, only to come out in the morning and see that famous crease in her brow as her nose goes up and she asks, “Where did you get THAT?!” (Rolling my eyes) I will say she is a little better now than before but she still has her moments. I shop more like Dad – I know what I want, I go look, if they ain’t got it then I’m gone. If they do, I make a selection, try on my choices, if it works I pay for it…if it don’t, then goodbye LOL.

Ask Madi if I can borrow that dress when she’s through with it——I’d like to wear it to Gaither Fest in Myrtle Beach in a few weeks. I’m starting a diet and I’m sure I can lose the 70 pounds needed to fit into it before then. I wanna go walk out on the beach and “twirl” in it! Yep, that’s my goal! I’m gonna make it happen! Madi has inspired me. (I hope I don’t have a stroke when I get to twirlin’!)

The shopping sounds like so much fun, glad it paid off. The twirl test was perfect. She is as gorgeous as always. Hope she has a great time!

We did the dress shopping a few weeks ago with Jennifer – my 16 y/o. She was the junior attendant , so all of the girls had to find a dress that looked good on everyone. (Keep in mind that Jenn is 5 ft tall , minimal boobs, and a self proclaimed large butt – all size 3 of her LOL ) If that’s a big butt, what the heck is MINE ??)
I hope Madi has a great time at the dance!! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

I had three sons, and none of the three wanted a dress for homecoming (smiles), so I sent them to the tux store, rented and returned….now that is the way to go.

Madi, Have a great time and enjoy your Homecoming.

Boys are not nearly as much fun to dress.

Agree with you totally on “skanky” for teenagers. I remember minis when they first came out (oh yes I do) with me showing a great expanse of leg, to my mother’s horror! I couldn’t understand when kneeling for school prayers, why my summer uniform dress was flapping around my knees when I know I’d made it at least 6 inches higher! Swift interrogation of my mother led to her admitting to letting down the hem. I was mortified! All she could say was “I’m sorry I let you down”. My winter uniform skirt was easier to deal with, as all I had to do was roll it up on the waist until I looked 7 months pregnant both front and back. Oh the folly of youth!

Word of the day, gewgaw. Never heard anyone use that in a sentence before lol. Will use it at every opportunity today:) Am going to the dentist later and when you have about 6 things hanging out your mouth and he asks you a question, the answer always sounds like gewgaw anyway.

Great post. Have a nice day :)
