Dress Up

Aaron got a plastic construction hat from his friend Gabe's Bob the Builder themed 2nd birthday party. And we had a set of kid's sunglasses from a goody bag we got at an Oscar party (they are supposed to be movie-star glasses, I think.) Anyway, Aaron enjoys "dressing up" in the hat and/or glasses.The problem is, he takes the glasses off almost immediately - before handing them back to me to put them back on. I put the glasses on, then the hat, then grabbed the camera, but by the time I got a shot, he was removing the glasses. So I have several pictures of him in the hat, with the sunglasses in his hand.

Finally, I skipped the hat, just put on the glasses and got this shot.

Again with the hat on, glasses in hand. Want to know what he's looking at?

Himself in the mirror. One of his favorite pastimes. I don't think I thought the mirror would stay in his play area for so long, but he loves to look at himself with the glasses and/or hat on. And sometimes, he seems to just like to look at himself, as if to confirm that he is still adorable. He'll just crawl over by the mirror and act silly in front of it.

Notice how the mirror is on the other side of the railing between the dining and living rooms? It didn't start off that way, but once he got grabby, we had to move it. He is now big enough to reach through and pull on the mirror, but we discourage that.

His construction hat has a sticker under the brim. It says that it is a toy. It does not offer protection. Because the thin plastic material that dents with the touch of a finger might lead you to believe it does offer protection.
