Bows or Bonnets?

Which do you think she prefers? Was it the big pink bow?? or the white little bonnet?? I know that this is a question that is in everyone's mind. When I was visiting with her I of course tried both. First I took out the bows. She was standing in front of me and watched me unsnap the bow from the holder. She is a very curious baby I can not stress that enough. I took the big old bow and snapped in into her hair on the top of her head.

Before my hand was 1/2 an inch away from the bow she had it out of her hair and handed it to me. We repeated this for about 5 minutes. I then thought maybe she just thinks this one is a little too big. So I took out the small little bows and started to snap them into her hair. She was even more curious with the small little bow. The best I can explain it is you could see in her eyes she was processing the thing. She watched me unsnap it and when it made that little clicking noise her eyes looked surprised each and every time. Then she followed my hand with her eyes to the top of her head. The minute she heard the click her little thumb and pointer finger went directly for the bow without wavering and out the bow came.

Even when I snapped the bow in my own hair her little tiny fingers plucked it out of my hair too. Okay everyone she looked at me like I was crazy lady putting this bow in my hair. Don't worry everyone I will teach her that the bows are a good thing. I can be convincing you know.

So now you ask about the bonnets. I had two different ones in a zip lock bag in her tote. I waited till she took out the bag. The bonnets are actually flat and then the string in the back is drawn up to close the back. So I pulled the back ribbon to close the back of the bonnet all under her careful observation. On the bonnet went all of a sudden I heard a bunch of chatter in the corner where the Director, Social worker and 2 agency worker were having tea. They came right over to see the bonnet.

I think that was their way of approving of the bonnet. At first she (like an expert) used the 2 handed maneuver to the back of her head and forward motion to get the bonnet off. But after much fussing over her with the bonnet on not only by me but by everyone else who by the way I think were really surprised I had a bonnet for her she kept it on.

At one point she even brought it back to me to put on her. So there you have it she preferred the bonnet over the bow.
