I don't necessarily see anything wrong with that, Mom. I did think the raised platform would make it easier to walk, but I was dead wrong. All that extra height took some getting used to. Going from 5'2" to 5'6" is no easy task for someone like me. My perception was greatly altered. Suddenly, I could see everything! I don't know how true that is, but it certainly felt like it anyhow. On another note, I'm not a big fan of babydoll dresses as they can make one look pregnant. They do come in handy on those days when you're feeling bloated (does that happen to anyone else when the weather gets real hot?).
