[tri-med] Re: Rachel's progress

kam has clip on umbrella from radio flyer.  you can buy them from toys r us
and they bend to adjust to where the rays are coming from.  they are really
for wagons buts work wonderfully with whellchairs and running strollers.
maybe i should buy some for auction...i guess we arent having that this
year.

i get her hats from hanah andderson (sp?).  they have a nice little tie
strap.  they are the bucket kind of hat so it shades the sun going in over
her glasses with clips.)

i also buy those little clip on battery fans with foam blades and we use
those to cool kam off.  a bandana soaked in cool water around the back of
her neck or even soaking her hat in cool water cools kam right off.

she is outside all the time and has always had probs so we have become very
inventive.  one of my fav inventions was a "stroller pareo".  i bought a
piece of guauze (sp?) material and tied to the running stoller to shade her
legs when we went to cocoa beach.  i think they are photos on her site but
she had to be under 2.

> Rachel's absolutely has daddy's traits in the heat and sweat dept...they
could practically have a sweat contest on a hot day....hahahaha. We bought
Rachel some sunglasses but she hates to have them on. The hat's good until
she starts to sweat, besides I haven't found a good one that's small enough
to fit her head...may have to make one myself :-( We got her an
umbrella...not for the rain but for the sun...which helps a little bit. It
shall be a challenge this weekend as we have to attend an outdoor
wedding...the weather forcast for a sparkling sunshine day....poor little
Rachel.
