The other day, I decided I would like to make dresses for the girls for the upcoming fall season. Wouldn't simple little matching dresses be oh-so-cute?
So, after taking the girls swimming at the pool, they both went down for a nice long nap and I whipped out my sewing machine and created this:

Not too bad if I say so myself! I was SO excited to show Jillian- I just knew she would love her "pumpkin princess dress" I had made for her.
Here's the conversation:
Me: "Guess what Jilli- I made you something"
Jillian: "Ooooo Mommy! What?"
Me: "It's a............ pumpkin princess dress!" (showing her with dramatic excitement)
Jillian: "Oh. (totally unimpressed) Is that all?"
Me: "What?! This is super special Jillian! Mommy made this for you with her sewing machine. Remember? This is the fabric we picked out together the other day?"
Jillian: "Yeah. I remember."
Me: "Well, aren't you excited about it?"
Jillian: "Actually, not really. I think I like it better when other people make dresses for me. Not Mommy."
She's SOooo sweet.
Fast forward a couple of days and I'm sitting here next to Jillian with my laptop typing up this post while she eats her breakfast (in fact, right now she's sitting in my lap reading all the "Jillian's" that I type.)
Anyway- here's what happens now:
Jillian: "Oooo Mommy- those are pictures of my BEAUTIFUL pumpkin dress you made just for me!"
Me: "That's right baby."
Jillian: "Do you know what? I so love that dress now. Did you know that?"
Me: "Well that's nice to hear Jilli, I didn't know that."
Jillian: "Yeah. I do. That makes you feel so glad."
Goodness gracious. This kid.
I was telling my sister I was going to write a whole post about all the sassy things Jillian is saying, but I think I'll save the rest of the list until later.
As Jillian put it- "You type too many Jillian's"
Time to clean up breakfast!

This is hilarious. Don't you laugh and shudder at the things that you can imagine coming from her teenage mouth? By the way. Most. Awesome. Matching. Fall. Dresses. Ever. You have talent, mama!
Great job on the dresses. I'm glad Jillian warmed up to hers... next time sew a dress for me, I won't dis you.
By the way, Marilyn pointed out an uneven seam on a dress I sewed for her decades ago when she was out here last. She's Senior Sass-A-Frass!
LOL, hilarious!!!!! And super cute dress, BTW, I am totally impressed!!!
