My child is obsessed with headbands. People are always asking me how I get her to keep them on and I’m like “Seriously, the real question here is how to get her to take them OFF.” If you follow me on instagram then you’ve seen plenty of evidence of this. She loves to put them on, although she hasn’t quite mastered “fine motor skills” so she sort of sits them on top of her head like a tiara. Obviously Scarlette has been paying attention to my love of all things Princess Kate.
She recently learned how to say headband. I mean, it sounds more like “hay-bay-un” because maybe she’s a little bit country. And she’s a bit confused as to what is and is not an actual headband. Last week she found a piece of ribbon and marched up and down the front porch saying “hay-ban!”, draping it over her head and then growling whenever it fell off.
She’s also very into playing dress up. She’s constantly running into our closet and coming out wearing my shoes or wrapped in one of my scarves or struggling to put one of my purses over her arm.
It’s pretty much the cutest thing ever.
Jeff and I were putting new sheets on the bed while Scarlette ran around the room chattering to herself and generally demolishing everything in her path. You know, a typical night in our house.
She disappeared into the bathroom for a second, where I assumed she was getting into the basket of headbands I keep in there for her.
Until, that is, she came running out of the bathroom, arms outstretched excitedly yelling “Mama! Hay-BAN! HAY-BAN!”
And I noticed a pretty pink, um, pair of my undies wrapped around her head.
Note to self: stop leaving your knickers on the floor.

Heehee! Cute story, KA! Scarlette is a doll.
Real life just happens doesn’t it? Thanks for the morning giggle!
So funny!!! That reminds me of my girlfriends bridal shower (back in the day). Her itty-bitty fine Christian Grandma (who was a little on the “down-hill” mentally) attended. It was tradition to pass the gifts around the room so that every guest could see them. My friend got some sexy “baby-doll” style p.j.’s with bikini bottoms. When they got passed around to her grandma, Grandma put the bikini bottoms on her head, and could not be talked into removing them. Someone had to physically remove them from her head. Some thirty years later, I can see the scene like it was… a few minutes ago!!! LOL
That is awesome!
I have caught my daughter wearing my underwear as a “pretty necklace.”
Pointless without pictures.
Don’t you love the surprises they come up with!
I just *knew* it was panties by the headline!!! Awesome! Hope they were clean. tee-hee! I want to know why we didn’t get any photos??!!? And I sincerely hope Scarlette *insists* upon wearing them to the grocery next time! (If this happens, I DEFINITELY *NEED* photos!) =P
Oh you funny, funny ladies. No way am I posting pictures of my unmentionables on the internet! Ah!!
Interesting….my son’s photo comes up as my profile. Just FYI – I do not normally look like a 12 year old boy (with longish-blond hair). However, he blogs, so I suppose he’s a member of this blog community thingy and therefore the computer thinks I am he. (On a side note: I need more caffeine.)
