Reflection



Suzette had made me a cute headband a few years ago for one of the girls. I thought it would be super cute with Rilla's dress. I tried to put it on her head but she kept tugging it off. I put her by a mirror to change her diaper. When I finished, she sat up & admired her beauty in her reflection. While distracted, I slipped on the headband. I noticed her eyes follow my hands to the bow. I watched & waited. As she looked from just the bow to her entire image, a smile grew across her face. I encouragingly cooed, "Oooo the pretty baby." The headband remained on her head the rest of the day without any attempt to remove it. Sometimes a little perspective is all that is needed.
