Remember the old-time photos … the chemically-processed, take-forever prints that we all grew up with … well, it takes some work to make new technology look old. This print makes me think of those photo booths where you can get your photo taken with vintage clothes and a ‘Wanted’ poster background. They have them at Disney World and I always want to do it … but I can’t ever convince anyone with me to do it!
Sydney was given an assignment to study an influential American in history. She chose to learn about Elizabeth Cady Stanton. She was a woman who fought for women’s rights and was influential in helping women gain the right to vote with the Nineteeth Amendment, though she died in 1902. Sydney enjoyed learning about her and wrote a speech that she performed at the Living History Museum Day at school. She did a FANTASTIC job and the compliments were many and glowing. I was unbelievably proud of her for learning the speech and not stumbling when there were students and adults standing in front of her for her presentation. She was qued by a docent and performed her speech about 20 times over the course of an hour.
She got many compliments on her dress as well. The children had to dress the part for the presentation. We found a dress on ebay that worked well. It had been made to be a civil war reenactment dress and everyone LOVED it! They said it was beautiful and perfect for the presentation. I think that makes Sydney smile as she didn’t love it when it first came to the house. I think it was perfect and looked wonderful for the event. She is excited to have the dress in her dress-up closet for when friends come over … and to think … she didn’t even like it originally!
Working on blog posts … trying not to keep you waiting so long between them …
Until next time,
