Much of a dream come true for Amelia, she was asked to dress like a princess for a night! Jason's cousin, Candace, is in high school and was nominated to be on court for her winter dance. It is tradition at her school to be escorted by a young girl. And better yet, the court maid and the girl are to be wearing matching dresses!
Luckily, GG (my mom) is somewhat of an expert sewer. She was able to take a look at a picture of Candace's dress and use a very small fabric sample to whip up a very attractive little number for Miss Amelia. Thank goodness too! She had the dress on for all of about 3 hours, so I couldn't have imagined shelling out a hundred dollars or so for a matching dress from a bridal shop.
Amelia got the full treatment that day: nails polished and hair curled. She was surprisingly cooperative and actually seemed to like every minute--even when I would accidentally pull her hair.
And...done! She was so funny when she saw herself all put together in the mirror!
It took about 3.5 seconds to make friends with some of the other princess-y girls in attendance!
Amelia and Candace
There was some crazy elaborate bowing thing Candace had to do to the retiring queen twice while walking in during Coronation. She was teaching it to Amelia before hand (who I think was more than a little disappointed that she didn't have to bow too).
Thank goodness Candace is so patient with the little one. She was SO wound up that night and I, myself, was ready to strangle her.
The truth of the matter is, however, that when "go" time came around, she did great!
And happily enjoyed a treat afterward!
Something tells me we have our work cut out for us!
