Once, decades ago, I was wondering what to buy a friend for a baby shower and other friend said, "There is this great French underwear for children". Of course my mind went to bustiers and balconettes! That is when I learned about Petit Bateau. Wonderful to see her in it.Duchessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986153653120526776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904021173466473381.post-5874811619427996132012-09-16T17:02:19.692-07:002012-09-16T17:02:19.692-07:00Love the photo of Nola and her Dad; such ease and ...Love the photo of Nola and her Dad; such ease and warmth.

When I realize Paul and I are both wearing dark jeans, black tops & leather jackets, I've been known to go back inside & change, even if I was the one who dressed first. Some combos are hard to avoid, right? A bit different than wearing the same floral print as one's 9-year old. . .
