When we were baby-proofing, we used a locking system on some of the cabinets that are absolutely off-limits (gas line, electric knife, cleaning supplies, etc). But I decided to leave 2 cabinets unlocked so that Harper can feel a sense of independence and stay safe, all at the same time. They are basically filled with tupperware, sippy cups, and a few non-perishables. Anytime we are in the kitchen, she gets to work! She pulls everything out as quickly as she can, and it's never been a problem.... until today. As I was cooking, I looked over and it appeared that someone learned how to remove lids... the corn meal lid, to be exact. She didn't pour all of it out, and it was a very quick clean-up, so honestly I didn't mind. She enjoyed playing with it while it was on the ground too. And of course I had to take a few pictures!
Oops...
Checking out what was left!
In other news, the glasses are still going well and are quite a hit. She has never received so much attention in her life, and she is loving every minute of it! I, too, have talked to more people out in public than I usually do. We have heard so many comments, and I want to make sure I keep track of some of my favorites.
As Mare was checking out at Gap, the saleswoman said to me, "Are those real or just for fashion (in a rather northern accent)?"
-Fashion? Seriously? Who would ever put fake glasses on their 1 year old for fashion's sake?
-Honestly, we get a lot of "Are those real?" questions. At first I was so shocked that people
really thought they were fake, but now I realize how odd it is to see someone so young in glasses... so it's just not the norm.
At Costco, the lady checking us out said (in the most country voice I've ever heard), "Oh, poor thing...I can't believe she already has to wear those things!"
-I quickly chimed in about what a blessing they are because she can finally see... I never want Harper to think they are a negative thing. These really are the worst comments to me!
I also have my cookie cutter answer for "How did they figure out what prescription she needed?" and "How did you know she needed these?". It used to be very detailed, but now it is short and sweet! We are still so excited at what a difference these glasses have made!!!
I'm sorry... am I holding Harper??? Their eyes are a little different, but I think they look so similar! I know people say she has some Corby in her, and I agree... but you can't deny the Daniels in her! Now, you may have not even noticed that Leah and Harper look alike for my ridiculous get-up. I have no idea why I was wearing those sunglasses or the bandana under the collar of my shirt. But I do remember loving that outfit!
