When I was home at Christmas, mom gave me a few pieces of clothing that I wore when I was Ellie's age. I got out one of those items tonight for Ellie to wear....this pretty pink robe :)
She put it on and I kid you not...she said, "it's beeeauti-pull!" - Indeed it is! Now here's where it gets fun....
This is me! The back of the picture says January 1977. I was three....the very same age that Ellie is now in January 2012...exactly 35 years later. (p.s. I still really love Rice Krispies!)
I'm told that my Aunt Rose (who is 10 years older than I am) made this robe as part of a project. Not bad work - it sure held up well! Ellie LOVES the pretty, pink robe, and I LOVE that my mom has hung on to things like this so that I can share them with Eleanor and make these kinds of CONNECTIONS between yesterday and today.
