Today feels almost like spring. The sky is cloudless, the sun bright and warm. I just can't look down; the piles of snow destroy the illusion. Isabella is going through what I believe is called "stranger anxiety." If anyone other than myself of Rob looks at her, especially if that someone is a man, she freaks out. Sometimes this is cute, and I do like the way the clings tightly to me, but I feel bad when we spend time with our respective families and Isabella refuses to go anywhere near them. Anyway, today, because of nice day, Rob put on his dark sunglasses before heading outside. He came over to give us a kiss goodbye. As he got closer, Isabella's lower lip stuck out, her face crumpled, her hold on me tightened. He reached for her. She let out a wail, her face contorted with fright. Rob thought it was hilarious and insisted on torturing her in this manner several times throughout the day.
I wonder, does this mean that Isabella doesn't recognise Rob with his shades on? Or does she know it's him but the sunglasses are too scary? I don't think it's the glasses, since she's okay with holding them, or wearing them. I've read that babies can smell their mothers, but I guess not their fathers. It must not be the rest of his body that she knows, but his eyes. Hmmm, what if I put on the sunglasses? Will Isabella be scared of me with them on? She's asleep right now (the only time I can write- that girl loves keyboards) but perhaps tomorrow I'll try it.
Any bets on how she'll react?
