Answer: WEEKS!!! And maybe even so many weeks that it's actually MONTHS.
Seriously. I don't even know how she got so obsessed with umbrellas but it happened and my big plan was to get her one of Easter. Good plan right? WRONG. Especially when you happen to be walking around Target to "kill time" while you get prescription antibiotics filled and you come across a whole display of 'Brellas.
You would have thought that the Lord himself came down from heaven and opened up the pearly gates and there stood the largest piles of 'Brellas EVER. Miss A was truly beside herself.
Sadly, she did not pick a Hello Kitty one. *Seriously. Imagine me making an honest-to-goodness sad face about this!* (I'm thinking it's because the Hello Kitty one was red and not pink, of course.) She also opted out of the pink Disney Princess one - because I'm guessing that the 3-D sculpted handle of Cinderella was a little scary to her (it was to me!) - and went straight for the lavender Tinkerbell and fairy friends one...
And, OF COURSE, we had to "test drive" it today on a walk (repeatedly) around and about our circular driveway despite the fact that the weather was very sunny and a bit chilly out...
I felt a little bit like a "chump" for caving and getting/giving her the 'Brella early but everyone else has said to me that such a thing was hardly a moment of weakness when it yielded so very much joy for Miss A. It was a sick day today for her afterall and she DID have to see the doctor (one more time in a string of many weeks at that!) so if a 'Brella is what helped her to feel a little bit better? Well, it might as well have been "just what the doctor ordered."
