The Wonderful World of Hats

For months now Grayson has had an obsession with wearing big shoes….Dad’s combat boots (see post here), snow boots from his cousin, mom’s running shoes, really any old shoe he can slip his feet into. It’s extremely comical and I’m amazed that this kiddo can actually clop into a fast jog in dad’s nike’s. Remarkable! Those shoes are huge on him! Even more remarkable is that he knows the left shoe from the right, and which correct corresponding foot should be placed where. Man, I gotta keep my eye on this kid! Too smart for his own good.

So in the wake of the shoe fascination, a new craze has taken over the Halsted house….HATS.
It’s one of the first words Grayson ever learned to say and he still LOVES saying it. In fact, it doesn’t have to be an actual hat to be called a “hat”.
It could be a plastic cup, balanced ever so gently…”HAT!”
It could be his favorite stuffed animal held on his head… “HAT!”
He’s fully aware it’s his favorite stuffed bear, and not a hat, but the giggles we provide have reinforced the hilarious behavior.

He has always been great about wearing hats, but the past week he’s become somewhat of a fashionista and HE has been changing his hats daily. We’ve had absolutely nothing to do with it.
I love the independence!
And to balance the equation, little sis had to get in on the action too.

Of course we have to round out the picture parade with some fun shenanigans from our park adventures too.
Happy Hat to all!
