Laughter

Today we had a lot of laughter at dinner. The three of us went to dinner at The Green Turtle because we needed to go to K-mart and return the dress that I had found for her to wear at Grandma's memorial service.

She put the dress on and not only did I realize that she needed a pair of black stretch pants or jeans, but that the dress I got was definitely NOT her size. I had gotten a size larger in the matching sweater, and she LOVED the outfit. It is a grey dress with a little ruffle of flowery material at the bottom. They were designed by Selena Gomez apprently and the fact that it came with an "awesome" necklace helped I'm sure.  She had a huge smile on her face as she came to show me how it looked on her. I said I thought we needed to get the next size up just so that we could wash the dress and she said, "Oh good idea."

I wanted to make sure that we got the right size and there was only one dress left that I had seen in that size. We headed out as soon as we could change back to regular clothes.

We went for dinner first and had a really nice time. She cracked a few jokes and Hubby and I would look each other and say, "That is YOUR child, with YOUR sense of humor!" We laughed with each other as we noticed all the bar-b-que sauce on each other’s faces, and when she tried to lick a napkin to get the sauce off her hands and it stuck to her tongue.

I laughed when she ran for the purses. I laughed when Hubby gave a huge sigh because she ran for the purses. And we all laughed when we walked past the bathrobes and she had to snuggle into one because it was so soft.

It was a great way to end the week!
