Shady Lady

Ready for summer? Anna sure is.

During a visit to the dollar store this weekend Anna procured this lovely pair of pink shades. She pointed them out from her perch in the shopping cart and insisted on wearing them for the duration of the shopping trip. We had gone to the dollar store to try and track down some beads and play jewelry for her - she is very into accessorizing at the moment and she makes a beeline for faux beads and baubles when she plays at her friends' houses.

Unfortunately there were no beads at this time (I was told to check back around Mardi Gras - a very helpful tip from the clerk considering Mardi Gras won't be around for practically a year). But the sunglasses, along with some coloring books, hawaiian leis and a baby bottle for her dolls were more than enough to suffice. I am sure we can dig up some beads somewhere...

The sunglasses were never far from Anna's grasp, which really surprised me because I was sure she would discard them as soon as we left the store. As the pictures below attest, she especially likes to wear them when she eats (she even wore them when we went out to breakfast on Mother's Day!).
