While I had clothes for Benji he is on the fussier side...

But, she also made the cake with a matching dress - all while nursing a very new baby boy. A good day was had by all - even Benji who was dressed as a ...
...well we called him a dragon for theme's sake!

You may not be a quilter but by God you're a great seamstress! Your boys are so lucky to have such great costumes made by a loving and excited mum. And - there's no such thing as overdressed at a kids dress up party. x
