(No, this is not another head wound story.) Recently we’ve been enjoying a children’s music video by The Laurie Berkner Band. The songs are so darn catchy, both Jeff and I find ourselves humming the tunes even when we’re not with Mia. Mia loves the songs too. In one of them, Laurie sings, “Laurie’s got a pig on her head, Laurie’s got a pig on her head. Laurie’s got a pig on her head, and she keeps it there all day.” The song continues with different people and different animals.
I can’t be sure, but I suspect this is why Mia has gotten into the habit of putting things on her head. Bibs, shoes, bowls, toys, you name it. She puts it on her head and grins. I reward her by singing, “Mia’s got a [blank] on her head, Mia’s got a [blank] on her head, Mia’s got a [blank] on her head and she keeps it there all day,” which she seems to enjoy. Last week, she and Sarah were playing “a sensory activity” involving cotton balls and a dishpan when Mia decided to put the dishpan on her head. Sarah captured the moment for us.
Now with all that, wouldn't you think Mia would be willing to wear a sunhat outdoors?
