WHO SAYS TODDLERS DON'T WEAR SUNGLASSES?

When we first moved here I was at Gymboree with Scott’s mom. I wanted to buy some bows to put in Lily's hair when she wears pigtails. Then I decided that sunglasses wouldn’t be a bad thing to protect her eyes either, since I knew we’d be spending a lot of time outside. So Lily grabs the “flamingo” (that’s what they were called on the tag) sunglasses and won’t let me take them off to buy them. Finally, I get them from her long enough to buy them and then she isn’t interested…only for a second though. Just long enough for the saleslady to say, “yeah, toddlers NEVER keep on sunglasses, or bows for that matter.” Of course she told me that AFTER I had purchased them. However, I’d like to tell this lady that she should never say never because MY kid wears her sunglasses, and her bows (when I put them in her hair, which is rarely because it’s not worth the fight over who gets to comb her hair-me or Lily.)

These are just a couple pictures of Lily during her eighteenth month of life. She loves the beach and her grandparents…and Ollie is her best friend. Don’t all best friends take baths together?
