So maybe I jumped the gun a little by blogging about Christmas in July. Yesterday when Sue and I were at The Wells Craft Show in Maine selling our lids the cutest scene played out with a beautiful little three year old girl. She reminded me a lot of my own Libby with very similiar spirit. She brought her family into our tent before they went into the show inside and then on their way out they came back to our tent. The little girl was attracted to our display of fleece lids and her mom was trying to gently "steer" her over to our display of bucket and beachcomber lids for sun protection.
She didn't make a scene, or cry, or throw a fit - the little girl. She just kept making her way back to the pumpkin lids that had been created originally for the Pumpkin Man Triathlon in South Berwick, Maine. When her mom put one on our finally the little girl had the biggest smile and kept feeling how soft it was and when she looked in the mirror her smile got even bigger. It was so cute. I could understand the mom's look of "but she really needs a sun hat". BUT I honor the mom for letting the little girl choose what she really wanted and loved. I'm not saying that kids should get everything they ask for but when they find something that they really love and it may be a season off, it was very big of the mom to let the little girl have the final choice. Hats off to you Mom!
