On a completely different note, I also cleaned part of The Closet.
The Closet is behind the couch in the family room and is almost always a disaster. It is the spot where we store things that need to be semi accessible and all sorts of other junk. It is a rather large closet and poorly placed in the middle of the longest wall in the room. We literally have to move the couch to get it open. It is a pain in the butt and we hate looking for things in there. Things are piled in boxes that are stacked on top of each other. It is such a pain in the butt that it has attained proper noun status.
Among the things stored in The Closet is my wedding dress. After we returned from our honeymoon I took it to the dry cleaner's and had it preserved. They put it in a GIGANTIC box. In a house with limited storage the only place the gigantic box fits is in The Closet. The box does not fit under the bed, it doesn't fit in any of the other closets in the house. I ran across said gigantic box in the closet today and remembered having run across pictures of little girls in wedding dresses on pintrest and thinking I should do that with Babygirl.
So I took the gigantic box down and told Babygirl what was in it. She was really excited to see Mommy's "princess dress" as she calls it. She insisted that I try it on. I had to cut the tape sealing the box shut to get the dress out.
Surprisingly, after five years and giving birth to my beautiful Babygirl it still fits. I was thrilled. Then I took it off and put it "on" Babygirl. She was as thrilled to try it on as I was that it still fit. The look on her face was priceless. (And the pictures are adorable!)
