Until recently Henry absolutely refused to have a hat on his head for more than 3 seconds. It was immediately pulled off. That was until his Oma gifted him a navy and white striped German sailor's hat. Now we have the exact opposite problem, he gets mad if we try to take the hat off! It has almost become part of his identity and is definitely an object of security. One note from daycare this past week read: "Henry has been mostly happy today and when he wasn't, he was comforted by holding or wearing his hat!" Unfortunately, the little knit hat will not keep him warm enough during a Minnesota winter so we are starting the slow and difficult process of trying to get him to wear another hat.

My little "hipster" grandson has good taste!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I wonder if he'd do best by just putting another hat over the top of the sailor hat?
ReplyDeleteXavier refuses to wear a coat. Thankfully we live in California and not Minnesota...
ReplyDeleteMatt and I wear hats around the house all the time. We stay warm and our heating bill doesn't scare us every month. Maybe OH is trying to save you some money? Love the hat, Oma!
