“I know I know. Over the head over the head over the head.”
Fiona is the youngster of the group, and comes along with her mother to events. She is also the most energetic, and the fastest at getting dressed. When we first started, she got into a lot of trouble tearing the closures of her garments because she stepped out of them. She’s got it now (plus we reinforced everything like crazy).
We aren’t sure if teens in history behaved like this, although Fiona will tell you in 1866 she would be working alongside the women and getting ready to marry, a concept that presently makes her want to barf. Our challenge is how fast she’s growing – all of her clothing is designed to get at least 1 1/2 years out of it, but every time I see her I get shorter! At this rate of growth, we’re going to have to practice a serious skill learned from our great grandmothers – handing down and remaking.
