Never say Never

Before I became a mom to the CHF, I used to look at women who wore the same dresses as their daughters and thought it was rather corny. I mean come on, a grown woman dressing up like a little girl or a little girl dressing up like a woman, either way I thought it was just plain weird. Well, like all other things that you think you've got a handle on before you become a parent, I found myself suddenly understanding those other women. The CHF and I were getting ready for a party and I told her I was going to wear my pink dress ($6.48 purchase at Target, yes in the girls section). The CHF wanted to wear her pink dress too, unfortunately for me, it's the same style. But seriously, how could I look into her sweet face (she's been in an uncharacteristically great mood all day) and tell her that she had to wear something else because I didn't want to look like one of those women I used to wonder about? Seeing the party was right next door and I wouldn't be in the company of people I did not know, I told her I thought it was a great idea.
