100 Dresses



For those of you who don't know, Kyra's Great-Grandma Pat (Phil's grandma) had a stroke a couple of years ago and is still recovering. She still has a little trouble with getting her words to come out in the order that she wants them to, tires quickly and needs some support to get around smoothly so she's been sort of resistant to getting out. Well, she decided the other day after seeing the sweet little dress that Phil's sister Jeane sent there for Kyra, that she wanted to go pick out and buy a dress for her. Phil's mom and aunt had recently gotten a wheelchair for her, so they took her to Kohl's shopping. Great-Grandma loved all the baby dresses but they finally decided three dresses and a sweater was enough since she's growing so fast that she wouldn't have the chance to wear ALL of them. :) Then this morning, she sent Aunt Jackie back to the store to get one more dress and a pair of blue jeans that she wished she'd gotten. We went over tonight to visit and the little clothes for Kyra were all hung up along the top edge of GGma Pat's entertainment center in a row. Kyra promptly thanked GGma Pat by crying whenever she tried to hold, but Phil and I sure thought they were all adorable!!
In other news, we had a rough night last night. Kyra was fussy and upset and had lots of trouble settling back down, even after moving out to the couch poor girl. She slept in this morning and was pretty mellow all afternoon so I think she wore herself out.
