Wedding Dresses and Glass Slippers

My little girl Grace is obsessed with anything to do with princesses, fairies, barbies, etc. If it's girly she loves it. I always said I really wanted a girly girl and I most definitely got one. I wanted to tell about a conversation we had a couple of months ago. It was so cute and has really stood out in my mind so I wanted to write it down so that I do not forget. So here it goes. I was in the kitchen making lunch and Grace and Blake were playing in the family room. I have a wedding picture hanging on the wall of Cameron and I and I guess she was looking at it. She comes in and says "Mom I want to see your glass slippers." I was distracted making lunch and had no idea what she was talking about so I said "I don't have any." "Yes you do. I am talking about your glass slippers from your wedding." "Oh, well I don't know what I did with them." "But why I want to see them." "That was a long time ago and I really don't know what I did with them." "Ok" A few minutes later I remembered that my photographer took a picture of them so I said "I do have a picture of them so if you eat your lunch good we can look at it after Blake is in bed." So I got Blake down and she immediately comes over asks about the picture. So I pull out my wedding pictures and we start to look. We finally got to the shoes and she was so excited. "But I want to wear them mom." "Grace if I knew where they were you could have them." "Well what about your dress?" "It is packed up in a box, in the back of a closet." "I want to see it." "Another day." "Ok. Mom did you know dad when you were little like me?" "No we didn't met until we were older." "Who told who their name first?" "Well Grace I really don't remember." "Oh. Well what is the name of the boy I am going to marry?" "Grace I don't know. His name could be anything." "Oh. What is daddy doing in that picture?" "dancing" "really." "Yes really I think. Ok time for quiet time." "Can I see your dress?" "Another time." She goes to her room for like an hour and then comes out and we sit down to color. "Mom you know your wedding dress?" "Yes" "Well when I get big do you think that I can wear it at my wedding?" " Yes of course you can if that is what you want." A few minutes go by. "Mom when I have a little girl and she gets married do you think that maybe she can wear it too?" "Well yea she can if she wants and it will be your dress then so you can decide." "Oh good. Do you think I can see it now?" "Grace I really don't want to pull it out. But I tell you what I have out my necklace and my head piece so you can wear that." "Yeah, right now?" "Sure." So we went to my room and found it. She was so cute in it I took her picture. She is so funny the things she thinks of. I wonder if who tells who their name first is some kind of sign to her. Anyway I did finally pull out my dress and the veil was laying on top of the box so she got to play with that. I didn"t take her picture though but oh well. Anyway the picture to the left is her of course. Below I threw in the picture of my shoes and then a picture of Cameron and me. We look very young. Last is Blake. He can not be left out so he put on my headpiece too and needed a picture. I really wish I had those shoes for her because it would be fun to see her play in them oh well at least I have the story.
