A boy and his hat
Em spends most of his life in a hat. He's got a variety of them, all that same fisherman-camping style, but this one in particular is his favorite.
It is the one constant in his wardrobe.
He wears it for days on end, and quite often in bed as he sleeps, although we sometimes manage to convince him to hang it on the corner of his footboard instead. It’s not unusual to find him stripped down to his undies and white tee, galloping about the house, hat firmly in place.
This loving-of-hats is mostly cute and occasionally disturbing, but today a downright blessing.
See, last night Em got a haircut. An unwilling haircut. A crooked haircut. From me.
And today we had church, and that wonderful hat kept my ineptitude under wraps.
Of course, if you’d asked me about it, I would likely have told you that he was wiggly during the cutting, which is true, but the rest of the truth is that the crookedness is still about 80% my fault. So.
Here’s to random childhood obsessions. You never know when they might come in handy.

With the genetics passed on from his father's side, it may be to his benefit to like hats. As in protecting the exposed areas of the scalp from the sun. But for now is it simply part of who he is and I for one like it. Now I just need to make a fisherman out him, he already has the hat thing down.
Hee hee hee, it is good for em that baldness is passed on from the mother's side. Your dad still has plenty of hairs left; for now a fisherman is just plain cute!
