I loaded all of these pictures from Noelle’s phone today.  There were hundreds but these were a few that captured the magic of her experience seeing these iconic dresses in person.  Fashion excites her.  Fashion fascinates her.  Fashion captivates her.  It’s incredible she is so passionate about a particular subject matter at such a young age.  She’s wanted to be a fashion designer since she was able to talk.  It will be interesting to see how her love of this art plays out in her life.  Welcome to the exhibit from the perspective of our 8 year old.

I always run anything semi-personal about Noelle by her before I publish to the blog.  I sat her in my lap to show her this post, to ask if it was okay to publish.  When I finished reading the above paragraph, she didn’t say a word, she just started crying.  I quickly realized they were happy tears.  When I asked her to tell me what she was thinking, all she said was, “That is so cool.  Thank you so much!”
