Dramatic Play / Dramatic Macie

Macie has been baby crazy lately. I got out her preemie clothes to play "dress-up" with, I was shocked when they fit the babies. My grandfather David Hawkins made the cradle when I was little. My grandfather is a very gifted wood worker. Macie is always feeding her babies and giving them their "poo, poo's" (pacifier). She changes their diapers and has to take them with her to the big girl potty. We started using cloth diapers on Macie last winter so when I gave her the disposable diapers I bought for the babies she looked at me like I was crazy. She went and got the cloth ones for the babies. Only the best!

The pictures below are of Macie wearing some of the preemie clothes.

Please check out Macie's story of Hope at www.colbyfoundation.org The Colby foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising awareness regarding organ and tissue donation. Mike and I are really excited to be working with the foundation. Macie's life was saved when her donor mother made the decision to give the gift of life. We are forever grateful for Destiny's gift.
