Natalie’s Beloved Blue Hat
At my baby shower, Auntie Bethany gave me a beautiful hand knit blue sweater and hat set for Natalie.
Natalie started wearing the hat when she was 1. Notice how all these pictures from last year are of Natalie wearing the hat outside.

This year, Natalie’s love for her blue hat has grown to be practically an obsession. She wears it all the time. Indoors. Outdoors. In all kinds of weather and temperatures. One night she had a meltdown about taking a bath—not because she didn’t want to take a bath, but because taking a bath would mean taking her hat off. Almost everyday when I pick her up from Melissa’s, Natalie is wearing the blue hat. Some days Melissa convinces her to take it off for her nap.

This morning, eating oatmeal in her jammies. The first thing she did when she came downstairs in the morning was put on her beloved blue hat.
Thank you for the beautiful hat, Auntie Bethany!!!
Oh my goodness – I had no idea that she wore the blue hat so much. I am going to have to knit that girl another hat. Does she have any color requests?
Wow. Who knew that you would wind up raising a Hipster child…..; )
I’m going to guess Natalie requests “blue,” Auntie Bethany! :^) These are some really cute photos!
I don’t think the blue hat will be replaced that easily!
Also….uh, ouch, David.
