Let me explain.
My sister, Thanks Katy, came up with this really great idea to make baby legwarmers.
Yeah, you can buy them online.
Yeah, I am to cheap to shell out $12-$20/pair for "socks".
So, since I do own a sewing machine, AND since Katy found me instructions for "do-it-ourselfers", I headed out to by some women's knee high socks.
The intention was to have some for Hannah so that once it started getting cooler diaper changes could be accomplished with ease.
Being the supermom that I am, I KNEW that if Hannah had a pair, Hailey needed a pair.
I am acutely aware of the consequences of owning one thing that is labeled as Hannah's.
So I bought two extra-long pairs of socks especially for Hailey.
I worked on converting them to "ballet ups", a term affectionately coined by Hailey herself, this weekend.
Now, she wears them all the time.
Mind you, it is still into the 90's during the day.
But very merrily she chooses her ballet ups as part of her ensemble for school.
I did not buy ones to match everything that she owns.
Nor did I ever imagine that she would like them so much.
Nevertheless she does, and she is getting lots and lots of compliments.
Hannah has yet to wear them, except for a trial run with the first pair to make sure I was accomplishing what I set out to make.
They don't match.
They seem sort of out of place when everyone has on shorts and sleeveless shirts.
They are really bunchy if they are the extra long ones I bought just for her.
They have to be worn 1/2 covering her foot.
And they are TERRIBLE ADORABLE
2) The most loving child ever.
"Mommy?"
"Yes booger?"
"Mommy, Hannah is my best friend."
