Amelia's new glasses.

Last night I decided to take Amelia over to Target to look at a very inexpensive and fake tree that they had on special. Looking at the baby items for sale I saw a pair of sunglasses that had Amelia's name written all over them.

You see, Amelia's first pair of sunglasses have gone missing, and she continually struggles (often successfully) to get to my Ray Bans and play roughly with them. I knew I needed to get her a new pair of her own glasses to play with so that she might divert her interest away from my shades. Coincidentally, the store had a cute pair of glasses with a little cartoon monkey image in the corner of the shades.

Bringing the glasses home I did not expect for a moment that Amelia would actually want to wear her new glasses. The last time she had sunglasses she would immediately pull them off her head every time I tried to put them on her. But, Amelia has grown these past few months and apparently now loves wearing sunglasses. After I put them on her she will prance around the room, grinning, until she takes them off and laughs at how bright and clear the world seems without them. Then she will hand them to mommy and ask to wear them again..."Glasses, glassses."

So enjoy these first fun shots of Amelia in her new shades. I said it before and I'll say it again: it's wonderful to have my happy and healthy toddler back.
