Hats
Alden received several hats for Christmas this year. Three are of particular note.
Here is her flapper hat, hand-knit by Grandma Judy. (Notice as well the Kansas bib not hand-knit by Grandpa John.)
This picture was taken just after its subject awoke from a long nap, hence the gravity of her expression.
And here is her Dr. Seuss-like handmade creation from Aunt Ming, who claims this wonderful hat as her very first piece of knitting.
And surely the lime green helmet hat from Aunt Andy deserves an encore. Robbi put the hat on Alden at some time during the night (it has been cold in Chestertown) and so I was greeted to the unexpected sight of Alden ready for the gridiron when I plucked her from the crib this morning.
What better way to start the day than to play with one's garishly colored, tastelessly decorated, sound-producing entertainment center?
At least there are hats to offset the scourge of molded plastic. It is a small, important consolation.
