Here's a girl in a blue satin sash...with her sisters. They're my favorites!
Twenty years ago I never thought I'd say this, but I sure do wish they were little again. There are so many things I'd do differently. I would scold them less, and love them more, spend less time at work and more time with them, worry less about staying clean and spend more time having fun, spend more time teaching and less time on my selfish interests...
One day, very close to the time this picture was taken, the sash girl spilled her milk and her mother said to her, "Oh ____, shame on you." The girl looked down, examined her clothes carefully, then exclaimed, "Mommy, there's no any shame on me!"
Out of the mouth of babes...
"Things the children do and say,
That I will smile about, perhaps,
Some future, lonelier day."

Look! I get to be the first person ever to comment on your blog!
Which cousin is your niece?
I wanted to thank you for your comment, and to tell you that the test the doctor did, the one that ruled out one of the causes, was that test to check the calcium things in my ears. That's not the problem.
Strike One. :)
Thanks again for your sweet comment!
Yay! I have a comment! Thanks Noelle. I'm really sorry that it wasn't the simple fix. I found a link to your blog on Katie's blog. You have such a fantastic family. I love the Platts!
Good thing there was no shame on her...shame is a hard to get out...you need stain remover and everything!
Now I'll be singing that Sound of Music song all day!
