Purple Obsession

Two weeks ago, Rhett remarked that being with Charlotte is like playing a constant game of I Spy.  And that is exactly what it's like.  She has a sole focus, a purpose in life--to find and love all things purple.

You can be taking a walk or driving in the car and all of a sudden Charlotte will squeal, "Purple! Purple!!  PURPLE!!!!!!"  And you have to quickly scan and evaluate your surrounding in a Jason Bourne kind of way to find the purple thing immediately.  If you don't, she gets frantic because, lazy mom and dad, whyyyyy can't you just seeeeeeeee what I'm talking about??!?"

"Charlotte, is it purple flowers?  A purple sign?  Someone wearing something purple?" Rhett and I will quickly ask.  "PURPPPLLLEEEE!!!!" is the response.  Sometimes we land upon the correct answer and she gives us a flippant "Yeah" as in, "Yes, you pass this time."

Her love is so strong she has worn out every purple piece of clothing she owns so I bought her these shoes for when she outgrows her current Cate hand-me-downs:

Pretty sure we've got a winner here, fellas.

On the one hand, having a love so strong can be tough, but on the other, it is really easy to make sweet Charlotte happy.  Give her anything purple, and she is yours :)
