Her Future's So Bright...

In preparation for a trip to White Sands National Monument in the not-too-distant future, I wanted to get Adelaida accustomed to wearing sunglasses. It is surprisingly difficult to find infant-sized sunglasses in the winter, even in New Mexico, but I finally found a pair at Target. The sunglasses don't have side pieces that go over the ear; instead, the frames are held onto the head with a foam band that goes around her head and velcros to adjust the size. I have the strap adjusted to the smallest possible head size, and the sunglasses still end up around her neck sometimes!

Since Adelaida loves her carseat and always falls asleep in the car, I thought I'd introduce her to the sunglasses on a trip into Albuquerque. She wasn't too excited about having the sunglasses put on her, but once they were on she didn't seem to mind them and they were still on thirty minutes later when we arrived in town. Here's a picture of her wearing the sunglasses in her carseat. Note the puppy dogs by her ears--they are soft, fuzzy cloths that protect her neck from the carseat straps; she likes to chew on the puppy dog ear to her right.
