So, its November and finally cold enough here for a coat. I've been waiting to break out this beautiful coat and hat set my sister and mom found for Brianna! Just like with bows, she hasn't wanted to wear hats before and had this one on less than 30 seconds before pulling it off. I explained to her that it was cold outside and she needed to wear her hat to keep her head warm, plus I told her she would look so cute with it on. She patted her head and said "hat head daddy?" and I confirmed that yes, she would be just like daddy if she put her hat on. That did it! She said "hat on!" and didn't take it off until it fell in her eyes while trying to eat her cheese stick in the car on the way to school.
She looks like such a big girl now ... no more baby :-( Every morning, she asks "where ye-yow (yellow) school bus is?" and she watches for them the whole ride to school. If she sees one, "ye-yow school bus mommy! ye-yow school bus!". I know that before long, she'll be one of the big kids riding the yellow school bus every morning and that thought makes me very sad. I'm not ready for her to grow up.
