Problem Solvin' Mom: Friday Funnies

I was super excited to score some of the wrap around sunglasses for toddlers on clearance for $1 while on a business trip to Texas a little over a year ago. They were going to be perfect for our trips to Florida this year! (know that feeling?) Funny thing is, when the trips came around, they didn't stay on Sweetpea's face for longer than 30 seconds at a time...too interesting and yummy looking, they had to be pulled off and investigated, chewed on and discarded. At the time I consoled myself with the fact that they were only a dollar.

Little did I understand that the appropriate season for wrap around sunglasses was late December...perfectly paired with winter pj's and a favorite new hat:And, of course, an enthusiastic grin...
Perhaps a nonchalant tilt to your glasses and a toothy smile? (with a little leftover dinner on your cheek? oops!)
And even the occasional bumblebee pacifier for good measure. At least now I know!
And I can confidently say we have now gotten our $1's worth!

Happy Friday, everyone!
