The weather was spectacular, not too hot or humid. The sun was shining and Court was in a great mood. That is until we put on her hat. Then she spent the next hour trying to lose the hat. The child HATES anything on her head even if it's placed their for her own benefit. I think we spent more time picking up the hat and putting it back on her head than we did swinging. Oh well. This young lass has a mind of her own and she will let you know when enough is enough.
It was a lovely visit to the park. I look forward to many more as the summer progresses. Now all I need is the right hat that she can't toss off. The search is on!

| Courtney's favorite sitting position on a swing! She is swinging her head back and forth to get the hat off. |

| Hats off and the laughter shall commence. Happy girls! |

| This is CLASSIC Courtney. The tilt of the head, mouth open squawking at me. "I will NOT open my eyes for you until you take OFF this ridiculous hat!" |

Mary I love it! We actually have a decent park system here in southeastern NC. Some have more accessibility than others but my kids really love it. And my kids are batty about hats. They hate them. Especially my two-year-old blond pale-as-a-ghost child.
Hi! Stopping by from MBC. Love your blog. You have a beautiful family.
LOL, I hate wearing a hat too.
Have a nice day!
Kristen and Veronica - Thanks so much for stopping by! I tip my hat to you...LOL!
Ok - so I have never had a child who would keep a hat on. A friend from my old town (who has one child) said to me, "I just taught C. that this was part of her wardrobe and she needed to keep it on, like an accessory."
I did a great job holding my tongue. In my head I was thinking, "so you have a child who will keep a hat on, this does not make you wonder-woman"....Sometimes I think I had more than one child to teach me how different children can be from each other - and all are blessings (with or without hat-loving behavior)
so glad you have such a great park and wonderful weather.
Betsy,
All I would get is a rolling of the eyes and a toss of the head in abject defiance! LOL! It's a nice thought though. The girl wants what the girl wants.
Aw MOM...can't we just find some sort of elegant and trendy parasol to be attached to the chair instead?!?!?!? ::SMILE::
(I'm tryin' Miss Courtney...I'm tryin'...I'm in your corner!!!)
A parasol?? I never thought of that. Great idea. Now I must search! Thanks for the idea.
