1982 Revisted

My sweet girl and I have A LOT in common. We share mutual affection for many things like Cheetos, lipstick, pink gum, princess memorabilia, swinging, orange juice, Daddy Oz, getting our way......etc. Another thing we both love is:
My "summer nightgown" circa 1982. For some reason, I LOVED this gown. I wanted to wear it every night and did until it fit me like a tight tank top and only reached my belly button. I think the only reason I gave it up is because I literally could not get it on at all. My sweet mama saved it for me though. And now, it is a hit with my Sis too!! Another hit with my little mini-me are sponge-rollers! My hair was stick straight when I was little and I used to beg my tired, working mama to roll my hair with those things before I went to bed. Lucky for me, Karson has naturally curly hair anyway, so this is not something that has to become a regular bedtime routine. But, even with her natural curls, she wanted to try out mommy's rollers........since they were pink and all.
She loved them and didn't complain once about them hurting her head. Her main worry was that they were gonna fall out while she slept! It's good that she is learning early that beauty is pain and there is no point in complaining about it!!
