Ruby's First Mama Hat

Ruby is wearing her first Mama Knit. It took a lot of help from the kind women at the yarn store, but there it is. A Real Thing. Instead of the usual square I knit over and over, pretending it will one day be a scarf.

Side view.

The back and top.

She likes it. (She's saying "hathathathat")

Is it unfair that she is sort of forced to wear whatever concoction I come up with? I prefer to think of it as my God-given right as a mother to dress her any way I want until she tells me otherwise. Yes. I believe that's what it is.

Reading with Ruby

Story time! Ruby loves this book. Her parents ceased being fans about 100 readings ago, but what can you do.

She is a pretty interactive audience. And there's an unprompted hug in the middle (Something she just started doing. It fills me up, I tell you.)

It's a long one. If you're watching at work, they're paying you too much.
