modest

I got a sweet dress for M at the thrift store for $2.50.  It's red, and ruffly, and made by Gap.  So I brought it home and altered it (it was meant to be a short dress on a size 12 girl) to fit a tall 6 year old.  When I put it on M, she noted that it was not modest in front.  So I added some fabric, tastefully, I think, to make it modest.  You don't ever want to lower your daughters conscience of modesty.

Also, we got her a pair of saltwaters sandals, brand new.  She hasn't had new/new shoes in 4 years.  She was delightfully grateful.  What a sweet kid.  I'll have to post a picture of how cute she is in this outfit.  The goal, for me, is to up the Sunday game a bit.  She isn't 4 anymore so it's time, and well past time, to make more effort to teach her to appreciate looking nice.
