A Dress Just for Her...

My little Addie is getting baptized next week and she is so very excited!  She is exactly the middle child: two older siblings, two younger.  She wants to feel grown-up and special.  She wants to go to activity days, and art class and softball just like her older siblings do. She has had to wait until she was old enough to do some of these things, and that has been especially hard for her.  She tends to get overlooked sometimes, so Will and I try hard to make sure she knows she is special even though she isn't the oldest, or the baby of the family.  I decided I would make her baptism dress, something I did not do with Sasha.  I wanted it to be special; just for her!  She had told me she wanted a dress that was made from an old wedding dress from the DI.....but I came up with this instead.  She seems ok with it! :) I started working on it with plenty of time to spare and I am glad I did that.  It was a fun experience; not stressful and time-pressured.  The fabric was a new experience for me and a bit hard to work with, but I did it.  Yay me!  And just so you know, you can glue lace and stuff on dresses with the glue gun and it will work out just fine. ;)

I am so excited for her baptism. I can't believe how grown up she is. My sweet girl.....
