I am LOVING CitéFuzz’s new rainbow hat on Lilah. The two of us went out about a week ago and shot these photos EARLY in the morning. Lilah was very curious about all of the frost on the ground. For the past six months I’ve been barraged daily with the question, “why?” (as I’m sure every parent of a two year old can attest).

Lilah: “Mommy, what is that white stuff on the grass?”

Me: “Frost.”

Lilah: “Why?”

Me: “Because it’s cold.”

Lilah: “Why?”

Me: “Because it’s almost winter.”

Lilah: “Why?”

Me: “Because winter follows autumn, just like in your Season’s Book, remember?”

Lilah: “Why?”

Me: “Because that’s just the order of the seasons, Lilah.”

Lilah: “Why?”

…and on and on and on…

ALL DAY. I feel like I should start offering her better answers. Mike is really amazing at answering all of her questions. She can intricately explain our plumbing system, the process of roasting coffee from green beans, and the need for steel toed boots in the garage because of Mike’s patient explanations to all of her, “whys”. I get a hoot out of listening to her talk about the water treatment plant while sitting on the potty.

Anyway, it was a frosty morning, and we had a hoot taking these photos. It’s amazing what I can accomplish with Lilah if I promise her a Timbit in return. In her little mind, a photo session now equals the promise of one chocolate Timbit.

This is one of my favourite hats from CitéFuzz. I LOVE colour, and the new rainbow pattern Lori has been working into her designs lately has me excited!

Here is my little girl, dressed in as much colour as her personality…
