Lydia and the Hat

There has been a certain jacket and hat that Lydia has really been wanting to wear. For many months. Many many many months. I finally hid the jacket and hat because I was tired of dealing with Lydia wanting to wear this hat and jacket when it was 100+ degrees outside (can we say heat stroke???).

This weekend, it was finally cold enough to wear THE jacket and hat. Lydia's eyes just got a gleam in them when I brought the jacket out from hiding. The child knew there was a hat that went with this jacket and found it! She wore the hat to breakfast, a modeling session for dad, made her babies a quick smoothie, force fed her favorite baby watermelon, and THEN she got to put the jacket on. Oh, my. Let me just tell you that this was delight for this child.

P.S. The teachers at church should be very appreciative, in the excitement of hearing Christmas music and seeing her friends we were able to steal the hat! (I think it is mean to send her to class with a roomful of other toddlers with accessories that she can remove - simplify for the kind teachers!!!!!!).

Her hat almost fell off after so much time playing while wearing the hat!
