She's a bride

After quiet time yesterday, Naomi came downstairs in Hannah's ghost costume from last year's Halloween. Well, not the hood part of the costume, but the part that looks like a white fleece dress. It's pretty long on her, so it reaches the floor. She couldn't be happier -- brides have to wear long, white dresses, you know!

She immediately began laying out how the wedding would go: these are her flowers, this is her veil, etc. "But who will be my groom?"

I suggested Simeon. That was rejected without further thought. He can't even WALK, you know. So it was finally decided that Michael would have to be the groom. Which meant the wedding had to wait a few hours, but that didn't faze the bride. Nor did she forget her plans. Michael was greeted with the invitation to be her groom. Well, it was phrased as an invitation, but I think it was more of an order.

Michael is new to the little girl dress-up games. He didn't really pay much attention to his sister's games, from what I gather, and he didn't have had any further experience with girls' dress-ups. What he doesn't know yet is that we're still at the very mild end of dress-up games, according to my experience. The best is yet to come...
