New Nightgowns Before Bed

New nightgowns tonight — Hello Kitty for the big one, Dora for the little one — and they had to be modeled immediately. The two of them climbed up on the woven poufs by the window like they were pedestals and put on a whole show: cheek-squishing, hand-holding, arms flung out wide.

The little one kept checking what the big one was doing and copying it a beat later. At one point they were both up on one foot with their arms in the air, which lasted about a second before the wobbling started.

No idea how long the nightgowns will stay this clean. The Dora one already barely covers the diaper.
