Conner's hat

Once upon a time there was a little boy named Conner who loved hats. One day he got a super cool brown hat and they became inseparable. I don't remember exactly when we got it, but here's one of the earliest pictures I found of it circa October 2010. He would have been 2 yrs, 9 months.

Conner and his hat had many memories together. They rode on Thomas the Tank engine and climbed trees.


March 2011- they hunted Easter eggs together.

Then it started getting small, for Conner was growing.

The hat even made it until 2012 and helped Conner blow out four candles on his birthday cake. You can see it's very small now.

Then one day, the hat got lost (it's still lost, but I keep thinking we'll find it one day). It was too small, but Conner loved it. His mommy had gotten him a new hat, but it just wasn't the same. He wore the new hat once, but said it hurt his ears and he refused to wear it.

So, then he found his mater hat and decided that would be the new hat. Oh, well. Maybe he'll decide to give the blue hat another chance someday. He keeps saying he'll wear it on Saturday, but then when it's Saturday, he says he'll try it on Tuesday. His mommy likes the blue hat, but I guess Mater it will be for now:) I just read this to him and now he said he'll try the blue hat again this summer.
