Hats

Ella is a lover of many things. But she is a hater of hats. She has never liked to wear a hat. No sun hats in summer, no fancy hats when dressing up, and certainly no winter hats in the cold of Boston. We got her a fleece hat with a velcro chin strap just to get through the winter. Now that she's stronger, wiser, and more agile with her hands and arms we may need to replace the velcro with SuperGlue.
Interestingly, she tempers her hatred for hats with a love for the free choice to put other things on her head. The other day she got involved with a colander and here's what we came up with.

Wearing my dancing hat!

Whenever we play bank robber, i've tried to explain to Ella that it would be much more comfortable and effective to wear panty hose as her disguise. She just doens't want to listen and insists on wearing her favorite colander every time.
