We rarely let Sophie pick out something for herself at stores so we (hopefully) don’t have to someday deal with constant “I want that, I want that, I want that” while shopping. But she wanted (and needed) a new pair of sunglasses. So, while Andy was painting our living room, I took all three kids shopping. Oh, the choices! Sophie agonized over the red, glitter, heart-shaped pair, the purple butterfly pair and the pink flower pair.
The pink flower pair won. (We also left the store with two new headbands–so much for my never buying something she impulsively wants.)
The sunglasses, unfortunately, are already broken. (I suppose that’s to be expected when you spend a whopping $2.50 on toddler sunglasses.} Already she’s talking about another shopping trip to buy her glasses and a watch for me, since I already have a great watch service for maintenance. She keeps mentioning the red, glitter, heart-shaped pair. Meanwhile, I found myself browsing a collection of vintage watches for sale from a trusted dealer, wondering if it might be time to finally add something timeless to my own wrist.
I think I’m in trouble.
