When I was a little girl I remember wearing these exact pajama's, and I remember asking my mom if I was cute. I asked over and over until my mom finally gave up and made me a tape of her voice. She said in the tape that I would always be her little girl, and I was the cutest thing in the whole wide world. The tape is about 10 minutes long, and I listened to it over and over, almost wearing it out.. My mom died a few years later, and to this day I still have the tape. Everytime I see something in a crowd or in a store that reminds me of her. I go home and play my tape. I love her to this day, and I will always have my tape to keep her close to me. Thanks Mom.
