Granny Nanny and Dressing Dolls





Over the summer lil miss has been practicing
dressing her baby dolls and Barbie dolls.

Think it's a great encouragement for eye~hand coordination.
Practicing on toys helps develope some confidence.
She has been getting faster at completely dressing herself for the day in her own clothing.
Making great progress.

I think it is a good sign in early childhood developement
for 3 year olds to be able to select their own clothing for the day
as well as to dress themselves!
She does well putting her own socks and shoes on.
Still working at picking things up and putting them away.


Gentle instruction is a must.

God bless our children
and may our homes be a sweet place to reside,
~Granny Nanny~




So HaPpY with the accomplishment!

Hi D! Oh, what a darling little cutie pie! Look at her long curly hair and those pretty eyes! I know you're loving being with her. Good for her and dressing her little doll! I could just watch children for hours while they're in their own little world.
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

"God bless our children and may our homes be a sweet place to reside". I love that sentiment and prayer and it sums up this post Deanna.

Your granddaughter is so cute and she definitely accomplished a lot in dressing her doll so well.

I am praying for you~

Hi D~~
What a sweet, sweet post and I too just love watching little children in their own little worlds..sweet innocence. Your little granddaughter is just adorable and I love seeing little girls playing with dolls, nurturing and loving them. I remember that as a child and it is so very important. Maybe that is why I love crocheting little baby/doll items so much:)
Thanks so much for sharing your angel with us.
Yes, I too am praying for you..

Hugs and love,
Lynn♥

Your pictures are beautiful today...and what a pretty little subject you had to photograph!

I wasn't sure where you were going with that series of babydoll head shots...turned out to be a cute little hat. My grandkids have all, at one time or another, ended up with the underwear on their head like a hat, so glad to see your grand is a little more coordinated!!! hehe

SHE IS SO ADORABLE--just a little Angel!!
oh I just think of the joys she brings you each day!!
WHAT a great job, at 3 we will start working on dressing (MIss C herself), she can put her shoes on the right feet, bottoms she does ok, dolls, she takes their clothes off, not on yet!!!
We are pondering the POTTY training, she so far has about 25 % interest, not much, but she goes into the pantry, shuts the door and hides, so I figured she was ready, but not yet, I guess, Mommy is so tired, she is not in the mood to be cleaning out panties, so I am waiting for Mommy!!!
hugs,
jamie

How clever she is dressing herself and her dollies and only 3 years old.

Blessings and hugs

DECORATING

I knew a very frugal Lady named Edith that shared with me a excellent guideline for decorating. She said with ease, "If your room has clean ceilings, floors, and walls, and the windows have nice curtains, you'll have an attractive room."



John 3:7

“Marvel not that I said unto thee,

Ye must be born again.”

King James Version (KJV)

PSALM 118:17

I shall not die,
but live, and declare
the works of the Lord.

PROVERBS 24:3-4

By wisdom
a house is built,
and through understanding

it is established;
through
knowledge

its rooms are filled with rare

and beautiful treasures.

As long as I live, I will have to continually submit to God's plan for my life. You will be blessed because you turned your life over to God. Be confessing how good God is and tell Him you agree with who He says He is. BELIEVE and watch miracles happen. Be not afraid. ~Deanna

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS

FUN FACTS FOR CHANDYS
SELECTING THE CORRECT SIZE CHANDY TO USE IN A ROOM MADE EASY. FORMULA MEASUREMENTS: Measure the room's height and width. Add together the numbers. Example: 8' x 10' room is 8 plus 10= 18" Use a 18" wide chandy. OR Take width of room calculating 2" for every foot. Example: 15' wide room. Take 15 times 2 = 30. Room needs 30" wide chandy. Standard distance between the bottom of the chandelier to the top of the table is 30 inches. When hanging the chandelier, make sure to hang it at the proper height. The bottom of a chandelier over a dining table or kitchen island should hang 30 to 32 inches above the top of the table or island. Most rooms call for at least 7 feet of space between the bottom of the chandelier and the floor.

WISHES

NO MATTER HOW BADLY YOU WISH with all your might that the something devastating that happened in your life hadn't happened and want so badly to go back in time to prevent it from happening...it isn't humanly possible to do this. You can't change the fact that it happened. IT DID. But JESUS can change the MEANING of what happened to you and give you PEACE. He can show you the way in which you are to go. God richly BLESS you. ~Deanna
