My little girl is one, you guys. ONE. As in, it's been an entire year since the last time I will ever give birth. An entire year since her little 7 pound, 8 ounce self joined and completed our family. Luckily, she slipped in right at the end of March and narrowly avoided a lifetime of being an April Fool's Day baby.
To commemorate the occasion, one of the regular headbands just wouldn't do. And I didn't want to make a shirt, since those priceless cake-eating photos involve a bib covering all of my handiwork. So, a crown it was.
It's comfy, so it's useful in a variety of situations. For example,
 |
Grabbing at fire. |
 |
Cake eating |
 |
Laughing maniacally |
 |
Cake flinging |
 |
Cake observation |
 |
Gift opening |
 |
Telling people how old you are |
 |
Showing off your teeth |
So there you have it! I made Little Sister wear this crown everywhere we went on her actual birthday, so that strangers would ask me, "Is it her birthday?" and I would say, "Why yes, in fact it is." Only one person asked me how old she was.
If you are interested in a crown for your child (or yourself, what the heck!) let me know! I'd be happy to make one in the colors of your choice!
Is there ever a time when a crown is not appropriate? Too cute!
ReplyDeleteIris is the queen of turning ONE! I just adore the crown, but your little girl is simply the cutest. I love the picture of her laughing. It looks like she really enjoyed the cupcakes. :)
ReplyDeletelove this--can you make one for my 33rd? :)
ReplyDeleteBina, I would love to see you rocking one of my crowns! Just let me know when :)
