I Think She’s Excited

My 4 year old has her Holiday Program at school today. A couple weeks ago we bought her a cute little Christmas dress for the gazillion Christmas celebrations we’ll have with family in the next couple weeks. She’s such a girl and LOVES dresses. So naturally, she was crushed when I told her she couldn’t wear it to school on regular days. But Monday I told her she could wear it to school for her program - OMG you’d thought I told her she was going to have a baby sister (another thing she would LOVE to have). She’s been counting down the days ever since, and telling everyone she knows that she gets to wear her Christmas dress in “this many” days.

Well, today she came  bounding in to my room at 6:00 a.m. - fully dressed - headband and everything - and announced “I’m READY!”

Poor little thing got her balloon deflated when I informed her that while yes you do look beautiful, it is only 6:00 a.m. - not 7:00 a.m. so you need to go back to bed; you need a bath before school today; and you need to wear your jammies for breakfast so you don’t spill on your dress.

She was still all smiles, because by golly, TODAY she gets to wear her Christmas dress!

    I STILL get that excited over new clothes.

    Okay, not enough to get up an hour early…but I totally understand her!

    I am so happy for Keira. What a wonderful life she is leading. It is so great that she is so excited to wear her dress. She certainly loves life! I’ve never had the pretty dress opportunity, having had three boys.

    How exciting… Robby had his Christmas program last Friday and it was so cute I cried! Although Robby looked adorable in his sweater and dress pants, I think he would have rather wore sweats! Maggie LOVES wearing her “holiday” dress. We bought two because they are sooo cute, one for the holidays and one for Christmas day. Have a wonderful trip and Happy Holidays.
