Emma's hat

We got this hat for Emma several months ago, and she would have nothing to do with it. As soon as I tried to put it on her head she would squirm away and rip it off. So a few weeks ago I decided that it was time to train her to wear the hat. Summer is on the way, and she is going to need the protection from the sun.

It took about a week of putting the hat on every day. We'd tell her she needed to try and wear it, that she couldn't pull it off, and how pretty she looked in her new hat. Then one day (the day I took these pictures) she decided she liked the hat after all. Now she enjoys putting it on herself and walking around the house wearing it!


She has also started running! Go, Emma, go!


And she loves her new cup with the straw - such a big girl!

She even posed on Mommy's rock...

Is that not the cutest hat you have ever seen??
