In the trash
Sadly, I don’t have pictures for this post. Normally that would prevent me from posting, but I felt that it was necessary to record and share this little anecdote. As you know, I recently whipped up that blue shrug to wear to a wedding shower. I thought, wouldn’t it be sweet if Ava had one too. So, I quickly altered the pattern and actually finished the little thing in about 2 or 3 days. I just knew Ava would love it. Everything worked out great – I made two shrugs in about a week’s time and we were ready for the shower.
All I had to do was get Ava to try the shrug on – easier said than done. After two days of getting it half on followed by quite a lot of screaming, I tried one more time and managed to get it on her but she was not pretty. She wasn’t buying my reassurances that it looked really cute. Finally I took it off and said “Fine, throw it away!” She slammed it into the diaper pail and we never looked back.
