Two thumbs up for accessories!

Accesorizing definitely has its advantages. In addition to giving my outfit added pizazz, I found out that accessories can double up as items to occupy a toddler’s fidgety hands.

A few weeks ago, when we attended BIL’s wedding dinner in Sungai Petani, I wore a black tube dress and a shawl, and as an afterthought, I threw in my 12 silver bangles, bought aeons ago at that place called Isetan. Pssssstttt…this is THE place for accessories, people, because despite the long period of time these bangles have been hibernating in my drawer, not one of them were discolored. Every one of them was as good as new.

So wore them I did. Little did I know that Ethan would be so very fascinated with them. At our dinner table, when he had finished all his snacks, he suddenly spotted my bangles and reached for them. He would remove them from my arm one by one and put them on his arm. Then when he was done with all of the 12 bangles, he would jiggle his arm up and down, creating a nice jingly sound. Then he would take them out one by one again and put them backย on my arm, and then repeat the entire process.

When I wore a simple chunky bangle the following night, he also grabbed hold of it and pretended it was a tambourine. I know that’s what he was thinking, cos he was shaking it very much like how we would play a tambourine, and he had been watching Baby Einstein’s Meet the Orchestra a lot.

So is it any wonder why I am so into accessorizing these days? But be careful though, if you are wearing those delicate dangling earrings. Just be sure your toddler doesn’t yank them off!

    Joyce says: Be careful there! Ethan loves my earrings too, and although I am scared, I am too much of a vainpot to not wear them! LOL

    *laugh* That’s what all my mommy customers with young kids say to me, “do you have studs, I can’t wear dangling earrings or my kid will pull till my ear-hole bleed!” *Ouch*

    So when I see Mommies coming to my stall, I seldom recommend dangling earrings….*laugh*

    Joyce says: But once in a while, I like to wear dangling ones…. ๐Ÿ™‚

    I haven’t worn any earrings or chains since Bryan was a year old. He even took out my stud earrings once and almost ate them!

    Joyce says: I have to wear earrings now and then, just to ensure the earring hole doesn’t close up.
