During Monday night/Tuesday morning I had a nightmare. An actual nightmare! I mean I sometimes dream about projects I'm in the middle of (is that really sad to admit to?), but a nightmare was new. Libby was having a final try on of dress and shoes, but it wasn't going well. The poor bairn had very oddly shaped feet. The shoes were the same size as each other but one foot was so big the shoe wouldn't go on, and the other foot was so small the shoe was dangling off, held on only by the ribbons! Not the most auspicious of starts. Then we tried her dress on. And there was an incident. I won't go into too much detail, but let's just say there was nappy leakage. A lot of it. Baby wipes didn't help at all.
So Tuesday dawned and I was slightly panicked about shoe and dress incidents. I had a word with Libby that she wasn't allowed to poo near the dress. I'm not sure she was listening. She was too busy eyeing up the sparkles.
You can just about see one of the shoes sticking out under the dress there. These were the best shots we could get of her. The rest were all too blurry with all the dancing! I'm also not sure why she looks quite so serious!
I've got a few shots of her after christening too. By this stage shoes and socks had come off. I'm surprised they lasted as long as they did.
The look of fascination in the top shot is because there was a young boy just out of shot with a dinosaur he was showing Libby.
One more thing to mention, during the actual christening service, about halfway through, there were distinct straining noises coming from near the font! As you can see though, the nappy performed it's purpose admirably.
