He is watching the water running into the bathtub, very curious about the process. He also learned to clap his hands last week, but only performs when he wants to. Of course, not when his parents act like crazy people trying to get him to as that is just too funny to watch instead!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738093.post-90274898804536054952009-02-25T10:23:00.000-08:002009-02-25T10:35:13.069-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlwDasCvlEuhDHG9QjYl3hiopHhuVyVT69tQCjwDF8cWWm8wyB5k9GR50eOQLPgozBV4xuwvKNq1XjJwYXWVf0PC92QixYYbBPIFsnB-5fBFpwtphvuU4qga8SOBusrYfgL2w14w/s1600-h/IMG_6013_cropped.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 216px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlwDasCvlEuhDHG9QjYl3hiopHhuVyVT69tQCjwDF8cWWm8wyB5k9GR50eOQLPgozBV4xuwvKNq1XjJwYXWVf0PC92QixYYbBPIFsnB-5fBFpwtphvuU4qga8SOBusrYfgL2w14w/s320/IMG_6013_cropped.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306803083403051586" /></a><br />Josh loves checkin' out himself in the mirror. He thinks he's a handsome dude! (Dressed in Bug Zoo clothes.) To get the girls from calling him "Joshy", I think we should change his nickname to "Josh Josh" like in the movie Incedibles the baby's name was Jack Jack... or is Mike too sensitive to the feminine way the girls call him Joshy? What do you think?<br /><br />Here's another shot of Josh playing with his truck he got for Christmas from Grandma.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgxir8jPaRwNIhIhiZLmxUNO7iSL9fki0SahPjAENTg3ElSiG3bCWYgaf_fc2oXQY6aR4HS1yjF6405qTG0xw8QTlD-rVJjZo3Jw63YlJUMH8ae8ARv8T35fObF-r3T513zZUCkg/s1600-h/IMG_6018.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgxir8jPaRwNIhIhiZLmxUNO7iSL9fki0SahPjAENTg3ElSiG3bCWYgaf_fc2oXQY6aR4HS1yjF6405qTG0xw8QTlD-rVJjZo3Jw63YlJUMH8ae8ARv8T35fObF-r3T513zZUCkg/s320/IMG_6018.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306804468530430818" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738093.post-48201654466501426212009-02-18T12:23:00.000-08:002009-02-18T12:30:21.357-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8vUHtENxmJF1QaT0IQQJNtBq4BWU7oKPIbj45WI-yog6gHtKd9puAhQ0Xa6WOovx_xWWZx7ebK3SApN9vgvX92x774XbsdIj0o4q66qiI_e2Vhn_nb8kkVLMhlLOOFR78V9oyHA/s1600-h/IMG_5895.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8vUHtENxmJF1QaT0IQQJNtBq4BWU7oKPIbj45WI-yog6gHtKd9puAhQ0Xa6WOovx_xWWZx7ebK3SApN9vgvX92x774XbsdIj0o4q66qiI_e2Vhn_nb8kkVLMhlLOOFR78V9oyHA/s320/IMG_5895.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5304236939866263858" /></a>So three months have wizzed by since I have closed Kaboodle Kids. I met with the accountant this past week to go over the final year's results so once we file, it will be the last.<br /><br />Time has flown by so I thought maybe I should use this blog to post family events. Here is the latest of our new bundle of joy at 6 months.

With three kids, one of them being a newborn, it makes sense to concentrate on my family at this time.

He did very well at the show. Quite a few people didn't realize he was real so when he actually moved while sleeping, it startled some. After three days with him on the road, I was ready to be home as much as he was. I was surprised how low the participation was at the ENK Show. The economy is really showing in the retail arena, quite disheartening.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738093.post-5123577562714754702008-09-29T05:58:00.000-07:002008-09-29T10:33:28.157-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHCbO27qXfQBpOws582sMnYc36aWqyHKekfoIEAoeOhUBP0fxagbUC7gBCp_57OCUkWMcRZe7aOjBPBgQsYE2agyqvxS9NIW7bUosahjW6uYwtnb9vt9LEkMCvzkmJ9Bp4HpBeaQ/s1600-h/Swing_dress.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHCbO27qXfQBpOws582sMnYc36aWqyHKekfoIEAoeOhUBP0fxagbUC7gBCp_57OCUkWMcRZe7aOjBPBgQsYE2agyqvxS9NIW7bUosahjW6uYwtnb9vt9LEkMCvzkmJ9Bp4HpBeaQ/s200/Swing_dress.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251430977148598946" /></a><br />Busy Busy Busy... getting ready for the ENK Children's Club show in New York coming up next week October 5-7.

I smirked but didn't say a word. Within ten minutes, he comes out again and says, you have to take him! Not sure all the thoughts that popped into his head but the thought of waking up 3 to 4 times a night was not what he had in mind. I think it will be fun.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgADoRu4URLVi2v0YU5l-SICgFZRu8qsgRms_gLurPPXVtxtWBTjtRHHNMivY8CI5OpUpwcxyw82b16iTKLhjmQr74SgnQ35s_X4hydZLVfgR4_ReLFOXzqa9GkFFBaM0ETHFmwhA/s1600-h/African_skirt_top.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgADoRu4URLVi2v0YU5l-SICgFZRu8qsgRms_gLurPPXVtxtWBTjtRHHNMivY8CI5OpUpwcxyw82b16iTKLhjmQr74SgnQ35s_X4hydZLVfgR4_ReLFOXzqa9GkFFBaM0ETHFmwhA/s200/African_skirt_top.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251431540250098882" /></a><br />Not sure if Conway knows much about babies but will soon learn as I am very good at passing my baby off to get small relief sometimes (just so you know, I don't give him to strangers). It will definitely be different having a little one while doing the show. I could only do it since I have others at the show with me. At the Vegas Show I did see a couple of the vendors bring their little ones so I figured he could come too.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3A96GXQ7THZSvSumSXYT7DygmXzdz-bw5_kQrlOkclEKIoNhB6vymk8s-SC1ELY0uw_Avjo0u7wHXBuGMBPCRtsxThWByqHdEHD2r0ofum5e9bVDapD_xXSUQ-6DZd7tW1anjFQ/s1600-h/Boys_shorts_shirt_set.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3A96GXQ7THZSvSumSXYT7DygmXzdz-bw5_kQrlOkclEKIoNhB6vymk8s-SC1ELY0uw_Avjo0u7wHXBuGMBPCRtsxThWByqHdEHD2r0ofum5e9bVDapD_xXSUQ-6DZd7tW1anjFQ/s200/Boys_shorts_shirt_set.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251431836629636578" /></a>I thought it might be nice to get a sneak preview of a few of the items from each of the collections coming in Spring/Summer 2009. The girls have three collections: the Polka Mix, Magical Bloom and African Inspiration; while the Boys - the African Bug Safari.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcKvb4q1Uvu-nxXuDXmVpeOzsrXF48u55OZSGkTzb4HNxAUM8-eOuNK32KdR7V5hVacbnjPwAP5tpxP4fEIRRynOv2if5PMrNCQmm0f2Fl8qSH-iXV1FtKKYUiI8jliVBJhyphenhyphen3M6Q/s1600-h/Boys_Golfer_Ts.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcKvb4q1Uvu-nxXuDXmVpeOzsrXF48u55OZSGkTzb4HNxAUM8-eOuNK32KdR7V5hVacbnjPwAP5tpxP4fEIRRynOv2if5PMrNCQmm0f2Fl8qSH-iXV1FtKKYUiI8jliVBJhyphenhyphen3M6Q/s200/Boys_Golfer_Ts.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251432796897349650" /></a><br />So the first dress you see at the top is the Swing Dress from the Magical Bloom Collection, then the Polka Dot Dress, and the African Skirt and Top. There are a wide variety of shorts, pants, tops, dresses and skirts in each of the three collections. For boys you see the shorts and shirts sets, then the Golfer T's and the Dungarees and Tshirt. There are also board shorts, pants and other shirts as well to complete the collection.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjstihfJsNvOxdykS51jHUw-NxWazIJYmxzrPE8KCfza0sFY_tPtHf_focgmxPDpl18s8lYKceBJND4lvs9slQRbrSs5enOhl5pULOfq-Nu41kgHSyZ4hNK6Q1Q8rAjovfxB3e_kQ/s1600-h/Dungarees.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjstihfJsNvOxdykS51jHUw-NxWazIJYmxzrPE8KCfza0sFY_tPtHf_focgmxPDpl18s8lYKceBJND4lvs9slQRbrSs5enOhl5pULOfq-Nu41kgHSyZ4hNK6Q1Q8rAjovfxB3e_kQ/s200/Dungarees.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251435024520985826" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738093.post-12880719885880812042008-09-19T06:41:00.000-07:002008-09-19T06:57:42.153-07:00<a><img alt="Dashin Fashion - Global Children's Clothing Magazine Guide Community" src="http://www.dashinfashion.com/images/home/dashinfashionbannersm.jpg" /></a> <a href="http://www.dashinfashion.com/">Dashin Fashion Global Children's Clothing Magazine & Guide</a> featured us this week!

We have coverage on the cover of the back section of CAMP USA Fashions which starts on page 57 (click on August 2008 pages to see sections of the magazine). The Camp USA Fashions cover shows a boy and girl blowing bubbles. The cute girl is wearing our <a href="http://www.kaboodlekids.com/product_p/bz524.htm">Denim & Muslin Tank Top</a> and <a href="http://www.kaboodlekids.com/product_p/bz534.htm">Denim Shorts</a>. She also shows up on page 72 dragging a back pack and losing all her items out of it. Because it's considered a cover page, the Kaboodle Kids info shows up under the table of contents on page 8, and we do show up with our phone number on page 71 too with all the other companies listed. I am so excited to have the Bug Zoo clothes line chosen in their magazine.

At least I get a lot of work done during these strange hours I am up in the middle of the night. So this week, I went down a water slide, not to worry it was a very relaxed type one that just zigzagged around, no big deal. Then the following day I took my 4 year old out on a zetski ride on "no ripple" (glass) type waters and didn't even go over any bumpy waves. Still no baby delivery. This little guy wants to stay until my due date, which is now 1 week away. I already lost the family bet. My 4 year old is the next contender to potentially win when baby Josh will come. My latest advice from a friend was to go on a motorcycle ride, delivery will definitely happen then (or so her mom delivered the following day!) Not so sure it sounds like a good idea, people did strange things back in the day. Any ideas?Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738093.post-72697556445187365622008-07-16T06:03:00.000-07:002008-07-16T09:59:04.908-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWv7afBE0IyKkV7JFb1p3mHQp6KCif16kjARHDBez0vEdq3B1jYQ3iVZxSDNcbp0rB0lgRBP9YdfCwoZ3JC7t5I3kh-_nU1pQFlqVj8qendePyoJQW74_BmSxHOf6NFpgG5oO4vA/s1600-h/P_Lauren_denimtop_shorts_thumbnail.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223657099731170802" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWv7afBE0IyKkV7JFb1p3mHQp6KCif16kjARHDBez0vEdq3B1jYQ3iVZxSDNcbp0rB0lgRBP9YdfCwoZ3JC7t5I3kh-_nU1pQFlqVj8qendePyoJQW74_BmSxHOf6NFpgG5oO4vA/s200/P_Lauren_denimtop_shorts_thumbnail.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://www.hudsonscr.com/">Hudson's Childrenswear Review Magazine</a> called to say they were putting one of the Bug Zoo outfits into their magazine.

I even got into a small fender bender yesterday and still only dialated 1 centimeter when I went to the doctor today.

Could it happen a second time around? At 36 weeks pregnant, I said goodbye to my husband this morning for his last set of business trips before the baby comes... or will he come early like my last child?<br /><br />You see, about 4 years ago, I was also 36 weeks pregnant and my husband went on his last business trip to New Orleans. We were temporarily living at my in-laws down the street as the house was under major remodel at the time. At about 10:30 p.m. I jumped off the couch, telling my mother-in-law that either I just accidently peed on her couch or my water just broke. Luckily it was the later and it was only trickling out actually. I remember standing in the shower dripping there while on the phone with my husband telling him it was time and he said the airport was closed. He and his business traveler, also a very good friend, decided to rent a car and start driving to Atlanta to hopefully pick up the earliest flight the next morning. So off I went to the hospital with my mother-in-law and a girlfriend met us there. I decided on the epideral to hopefully hold her off until her daddy arrived the next morning.<br /><br />The next morning comes and we hopefully have a good chance that my darling husband can make it. My girlfriend had to go home to her family. A little later, the wife of my husband's traveling partner shows up to see how things are progressing. It's about 10 am and I just get off the phone with my husband. He said driving took longer than he was told but he's boarding a plane right now and would turn off his cell and call when the plane landed. No sooner had I hung up the phone when the nurse came to check on me. The prognosis was I was 10 centimeters and the catheter was holding the baby inside, calling the doctor quick!!!! No problem, I had my mother-in-law and a girlfriend there to help. I couldn't possibly leave a message for my husband now that he was on the plane. I didn't want to give his hopes up after all he had been through.<br /><br />Within the hour, I gave birth to a healthy baby girl. My husband calls just before noon when he got off the plane. I told him his baby girl was waiting for him. He was ecstatic thinking it meant that the baby was inside me waiting for him, but I had to tell him the truth and he was devastated! He showed up at the hospital with flowers... what else could he do? We took lots of pictures with him and his baby girl. He looked the part of an expected father up all night! To this day, both girls do not know that daddy wasn't there for the birth of his second child... now that she's the middle child, the last thing we want is for siblings to say something nasty about this fact (as we all know siblings do!).<br /><br />The only difference here today is that my husband picked destinations where every airport he's at this week is a 24 hour airport that he can get a flight immediately back! Pray he makes it home to his wife before her water breaks!<br /><br />This is my most inspirational story for <a href="http://mamanista.com/2008/07/chic-unique-useful-baby-shower-gifts.html">Mamanista</a>.

Our home is a mess with everything from one room in piles all around the house. We finally finished painting the room and putting up closet shelves last night. Today it's time to put everything back and work on the little details, ordering blinds and one small piece of furniture. We're in the home stretch!<br /><br />On the business front, I am sending samples to Hudson's magazine for their camping photo shoot for their August magazine. I am excited and hopeful that some items will be chosen. Also, we are now featured in <a href="http://www.uptownliz.com/">Uptown Liz</a>, where they market for companies that give back to charity in any way. It's pretty cool. As a shopper, they outline the site well. You can shop by charity or cause you love or by product you might be looking for. Under each product, it lists the charity and how much the company gives to it. We have a few items listed in the boys, girls, infants and toddler sections and also listed under the charity heading "World Hunger". I heard her story on <a href="http://www.darynkagan.com/">Daryn Kagan</a> last week and asked to be added.<br /><br />Hopefully delivering early, like the others... but realizing as I am talking to other moms of 3 and 4 kids that the last one seems to stay in until the very end. I will be a very unhappy and BIG person if that happens!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738093.post-27011357269389452582008-06-17T10:56:00.000-07:002008-06-17T11:18:14.566-07:00<div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNM-91APbPtlkaWQuf5hiPkDGQAxk9_y96sTaRBmHnFiKZozQm88bJH9eJl3L21eqgeWv_SivH1MQ1pQcMretWPjcP6-gszK3CNB59LYuijXQgXBDFBsAe_GC4rzPTSDLtyhAd-Q/s1600-h/IMG_4447-edited.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212911961417929554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNM-91APbPtlkaWQuf5hiPkDGQAxk9_y96sTaRBmHnFiKZozQm88bJH9eJl3L21eqgeWv_SivH1MQ1pQcMretWPjcP6-gszK3CNB59LYuijXQgXBDFBsAe_GC4rzPTSDLtyhAd-Q/s200/IMG_4447-edited.jpg" border="0" /></a>By the end of this week, I'll be 34 weeks pregnant and d<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGB-pgOx_mynkncPheGnEWTAEmSmPrCjgwyhgrbhJdgzinn2edpimZSvqyAZfVRIatCJGoJrKY51h26F6FjOk-SarjFUjsYobPOOUqQW-RJ9WB-tYQairhYXyHZS_oU9x_WcawFw/s1600-h/IMG_Joshua_sono_profile.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5212914300694330754" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGB-pgOx_mynkncPheGnEWTAEmSmPrCjgwyhgrbhJdgzinn2edpimZSvqyAZfVRIatCJGoJrKY51h26F6FjOk-SarjFUjsYobPOOUqQW-RJ9WB-tYQairhYXyHZS_oU9x_WcawFw/s200/IMG_Joshua_sono_profile.jpg" border="0" /></a>efinitely ready to deliver... only after the flooring is installed this Friday and I paint the walls and get everything back in order.

As he gets bigger it's harder to really see all of him, but my last sonogram, it looked like he was munching on his toes!

The paperwork has now been submitted to customs and we are waiting for them to review it all and hopefully respond that everything is ok.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738093.post-38300033051100396232008-05-20T17:23:00.000-07:002008-05-20T17:43:47.144-07:00In my third year now, my mind races at the thought of how Kaboodle Kids is doing. Will the company survive where so many other startups failed? What makes a company successful? Of course, profitability is the bottom line of true success... or is it? What I got in the mail today showed me that although making a profit is important to maintain and survive, I found another aspect I feel makes Kaboodle Kids successful today.<br /><br />You see, I got a letter from <a href="http://www.feedthechildren.com/">Feed The Children</a> today. It contained a Certificate of Appreciation in recognition of Kaboodle Kids, basically saying that the contributions Kaboodle Kids has provided in the past 12 months is equivalent to provide 49,830 lifesaving meals for our country's hungriest children. I am in awe at our small 10% donations and what it can do for all those people! If there is any time I feel like giving up, I'll have to bring out that certificate.<br /><br />Now I am wondering since our contributions are earmarked for the Abandoned Baby Center in Kenya, does my money go farther there????<br /><br />I did a quick calculation, 365 days in a year times 3 meals = 1095 meals per year for 1 person. 49,830 divided by 1095 = 45 people were fed for the year! and my husband is worried about this new baby we're having... at least we know we can feed him! ;-)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14738093.post-7285638887632800862008-05-19T10:22:00.000-07:002008-07-11T14:07:54.118-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnF9E6mriYECCSiM5CN7cfNQLkR75nv0DZ5kIAE7aod8iJNC5PiF-x2N7HLsoSJ_PrVPIvEQOzckeKeG5I5gRUgElVFeqsIWZ5gvM0OiW2_lD5V5yrkzQipaWhgepjxUvlzKYq0A/s1600-h/IMGP9006_ed.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202143711469476002" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnF9E6mriYECCSiM5CN7cfNQLkR75nv0DZ5kIAE7aod8iJNC5PiF-x2N7HLsoSJ_PrVPIvEQOzckeKeG5I5gRUgElVFeqsIWZ5gvM0OiW2_lD5V5yrkzQipaWhgepjxUvlzKYq0A/s200/IMGP9006_ed.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Part two of the Kids Fashion Show starring the Hooligans line first<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0opZEHjLqOSPH0KFrOkVMfqFJAUyTfWCayv49g75rvvItUixza7eUrLUrdgHgf-Ome_6iLwMhF_DpdMaFAzT16NnS5J4CVCifv5vfDic7GMNUkysdGAMs3Qr0pP5jT85co-Ky-A/s1600-h/IMGP9010_ed.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5202141911878178930" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0opZEHjLqOSPH0KFrOkVMfqFJAUyTfWCayv49g75rvvItUixza7eUrLUrdgHgf-Ome_6iLwMhF_DpdMaFAzT16NnS5J4CVCifv5vfDic7GMNUkysdGAMs3Qr0pP5jT85co-Ky-A/s200/IMGP9010_ed.jpg" border="0" /></a> is Madi wearing the <a href="http://www.kaboodlekids.com/product_p/hzipdrb.htm">Loving Africa Giraffe Dress</a>, having a great time on stage.
