BLog # 13 clothing

She looked so beautiful sleeping like an angel on my mother’s bed. Her hair was loose and you could still see the sweat beads running down her forehead. She must have been tired after me and she ran around the entire house, or at least it seemed, chasing after one another. Even thought we had been running all day she still smelled as if she was straight out of the shower. Her mother had taken off her sandals and placed them on the side of the bed. She was wearing a red and white shirt with a really cute flowering pattern on them. Like most of her clothing, which matches, her short baby blue jeans also had flowers on the pockets. All of her outfits have some type of design which coordinates with the other part of the outfit whether it be a blue dress with a coordinating blue Sunday hat with matching circles, or a her pink and white pajamas one of which has a picture of Dora the explorer on the top sweater and Boots, who is the monkey, on the pants. Her shirt was made out of cotton but it wasn’t like a regular “shirt” cotton it was more of the “dress” cotton. It was sleeve less too. You could also see stains on the shirt, maybe it was from the spaghetti she was eating earlier before that day, and a pink stain from the juice she was drinking. She didn’t have any jewelry she never wears jewelry although she does have her ears pierced. I wondered what she was thinking about while she was in her deep sleep because her eyes were twitching as the frequently do when she’s sleeping. Who knows? What I do know is that I’ve never seen a more lovely big check, beady eyes, pointy forehead, and petite nose person in my entire life. Somehow I wish she never grew out of her Cinderella sandals which she still isn’t able to put on for her self.

Awwwww! So tender! If you ever use this in something, all I'd do is just clean up a few minor things: proofreading, maybe simmer down a few details so we don't get lost in the words (like the shirt cotton description).

The end gets really touching - the sandals make a great doorway into the larger emotional content of the piece. If you ever use this, maybe "follow" the cute little shoes around - where they land, where they're stored, where she is when she's in them, what she's doing...or follow the stains, the dora shirt - some innocuous little thing that a person never notices until it's on someone they love.

Sounds like a neice or a little sister that you love? I read it real quick, but it's definately about a young little girl.
