day forty-eight

A hard day's night - she crashed at about eight o'clock, FURIOUS that her mother would dare to remove her fancy dancing dress and shoes to put her into the tub, and didn't quit screaming until everything was put back the way it should be - scrubbed clean but with her dress back on, shoes back on, and naked Barbie doll back in hand. I didn't even consider going through all that again to get her to bed - so she went to sleep in the dance outfit and shoes, still clutching Barbie. The shoes are two sizes too big but somehow stayed on until midnight, when I took this picture.
