The Hat

So, I know you have all experienced this. Your child is wearing something, and they refuse to change or take it off to go out. You know like when they are playing dress-up and want to wear it to the store or to the park. OK, I am fine with that! I am not OK with them wearing something for a straight WEEK refusing to take it off. Especially if it is something that makes them look so silly that I actually feel embarrassed to be with them. OK, so Chelsea has been attached to this "hat". It is not just any hat, but it is a little boys spiderman beanie. She loves it! She went a whole WEEK wearing this thing everywhere. She would wear it to the store, at the dinner table, running errands, and it was almost impossible to get her to take it off for bath time or bed. She even refused to take it off to go to a birthday party one Saturday afternoon. I dressed her up all cute, put pony tails in her hair and as we were headed out the door, she grabbed the hat and on it went. I tried to snatch it off her head a couple times and she just threw this huge fit. So, off to the party we go. Moments like these, we have to stop and ask ourselves, "does it really matter?" I was actually embarrassed! How lame is that! So, here are two shots of her wearing her silly hat, one eating dinner and one at the "party". Oh Chelsea!See her in the background?
