Once you get past the annual boom of babies amongst your friends, comes the Christenings.  I went to one for a friend not long ago, and of course the baby was center stage as they should be.  But their “star”was dimmed by one of the events you pray won’t happen.  The little darling upchucked on her Christening dress.

Mom, was frantic of course.  We were at her mother-in-laws and she hadn’t brought another Christening outfit. (Well, who needs a spare, after all?)  While they were clustered around the now loudly protesting baby, I passed Mom my gift, which was a wonderful little Sophie Dess number that would replace the froth and lace. Not to mention that morning’s breakfast. Then I took the dress off to the kitchen where I knew she kept stuff in the closet.

Baby formula is basically protein. It needed to be taken care of right away if there were ever any more children to wear the dress.  A quick rinse to get off the leftovers, a squeeze and I rolled it up and laid it by the sink.  This wasn’t the time to remind her not to wash a protein stain in warm water or it would set, so I taped a note to her bottle of enzyme cleaner and left it beside the dress.

I was having coffee with my sister the other day, and she was sitting there shivering as she looked through a children’s wear catalog.  Despite having a coffee in one hand.  When I asked her if she needed more sugar in it, she made a face and replied, “It’s not my coffee, thank you very much. It’s Allie.  She’s in that not a baby, not a junior phase and she needs some clothes for autumn. The weather is getting cool in case you hadn’t noticed.”

Well, I had of course. But why make her day?  So I asked what she was looking for.  “I don’t know,” she mumbled.  She always mumbles when she has no idea.  “Something warm.  You know, a blouse or top isn’t enough and a coat is too much.”

“Sweaters,” I nodded sagely.  “But not cardigans.  For dress-up yes. Church, visiting Mom.  But try pullovers or hooded sweaters.  They’re great for playing in outside, or for grabbing at the last minute and stuffing in a tote bag, just in case.”

“She wants ‘nice’ clothes.” My darling niece’s mother sighed and took another of those luscious double chocolate chip cookies off the plate. I reached for another myself before the bounty was gone.  “They are nice,” I told her.  “You can get her favorite color, there are sweaters with cute designs like cats, and you can even show her the sweaters online and let her choose from the ones you like.”

Just then, the four-year old subject of the conversation came wandering into the room. Wearing a cardigan.  “You ate all the cookies.”  She glared at us both and stomped off.  Kids.
