Here is my favorite of Theo's indoor hat wearing photos. I would also like to add that I think it was Bappa's red hat that really sealed the deal on the hat interest.


And, I think I need to dispute John's claim that maybe his attempts to make hats look cool were a factor. Here is photographic evidence:

theo the hat lover?

For a long time Theo refused to wear hats. Hat on head meant crying, fussing, and throwing a fit until it went away. Things changed in early December if I remember right. It might have been the cold in Cincy or the snow in Seattle or Theo seeing me wearing one and thinking it was ok. Regardless, hats are now the coolest thing since sliced bread. Most mornings he requests to put his hat on before 11:00 am. Usually it is because he wants to go for a walk but sometimes he's content wearing his hat around the house. I must say that he looks much better in a hat than his daddy does. A few "proof points" as they say in the business world:

I think there is an adage about having kids and your perspective on life changing. The other day I realized how true this is. Chris, our neighbor to the south drives a school bus. She routinely parks the school bus in front of her house during the day. Penny and never liked this much. It seems trashy to have a bus parked outside your house. But recently Theo started to notice the bus and one day it beeped when he was looking at it. Well now he calls all busses “beep beeps” and gets excited every day when he sees it. And now Chris will beep the horn when she sees Theo and he loves it. So now I actually sort of like the bus. Who would have thought.

Theo would probably be in space by now if NASA recruited based on cute. We went to the Museum of Flight today. As has been the case lately, he seems most amused walking up and down steps or running up and down ramps. He enjoyed the "brrrrrrrrs" too.
