We've Learned to Like Hats...

Carli can tell you where her ears, eyes, mouth, nose, toes, head and hair are...she can also very successfully pull bows out of her hair for some time now and very strongly dislikes it when I attempt to use the headbands on Sunday. Thus, we have resorted to the "Bam-bam" ponytail with the occasional bow that I can sneak on sometimes.

So I was not surprised that when the cold rolled in that Carli objected very loudly to putting a hat on her head. We had to try all sorts of distractions to get her mind off her head and the object that rested there. I guess our persistence has finally paid off as Carli actually asks for her coat and hat when it is time to go outside....

Carli will even leave her hat on in the car for most of our drive to Alto and when she takes it off, she will try very hard to "put" it back on...most of the time it ends up resting on top of her head...

She did successfully get Daddy's beanie on one Saturday...she was walking around like this! She just barely can peer out from underneath the beanie!

If Daddy does it, so will Carli! Daddy came in for a break Carli kept his beanie nice and toasty for him while he rested...

And our new favorite hat...the coon skin we got from Paw for Christmas. She proudly wore it throughout our present unwrapping and off and on the rest of the weekend. The dogs tend to like this hat too, so we have to keep it in a safe spot until we are ready to wear it - otherwise it may end up in the yard!
