A new favorite thing
Zoe has always liked the rain and watching people carry umbrellas – so we bought a baby umbrella for her (see below) this weekend. Ever since Zoe got her new “toy”, it’s all she’s wanted to play with and talk about. She proudly carries it around the house, cradles it in her arms when she’s in her carseat (just like she does her stuffed animals), and tells everyone – even dogs! – about it. (“Hi, doggie,” she said to one spotted in the parking lot of a store last night. “Look at my new ‘brella.” And when she briefly talked on the phone with my friend Angela the other day, the first thing she told her was that she had a new umbrella.) For the past two days, she’s even taken it into Elena’s – insisting that she show it off to her friends there.
I’m glad something as simple (and inexpensive) as a polka-dot umbrella can bring Zoe so much happiness!

Where did you find a baby umbrella? We were looking all over for one and could not find it.
I love the color and the dots, it is so Zoe.

Believe me, we had to call around to many stores before finding one. Most places were sold out; we finally found some cute ones at Lullabye Lane (where we bought all her furniture).
