When I was a little girl, my mom read me the entire Little House series of books by Laura Ingalls Wilder. This was all before the age of five, before I started kindergarten. I think because I so enjoyed those stories, is the reason my mom made this dress for me back then. I think I was about four or so when she made this dress (Noodle is really tall), and she gave it to me when we visited Benton over Christmas. I just now took it out to see how Noodle looks in it - bonnet and all. Isn't she cute cute cute???? Well, I thought so anyway.

that's the sweetest thing ever! we read the little house books, too! we'd actually play little house. rebecca would be mary, liz would be laura, and i would be carrie. (i hated it because i never had any lines...)
Oh my goodness! I love it! Do you have a pic of yourself in it?
I don't have a pic of myself in it that I know of. And I am mistaken - my grandma made it, not my mom, though as you know my mom can sew up a storm!
That's neat that ya'll played Little House - yes, Carrie didn't do much until later, and even then she was sickly and puny. Liz got the best part, didn't she????
