A Mind Of His Own

This weekend my Mom & I took Jackson to Lids to get a new KU hat.  Football season starts Saturday and my little Jayhawk needed a hat.  So off we went.

There were 3 styles to choose from in Jack's size.  I grabbed the one that I liked best and attempted to put it on his head.  He immediately ripped it off and said "No!"  I tried hat #2 and got the same reaction.  I was puzzled.  Like his father, this kid loves hats; yet he had absolutely no interest in trying them on that day.  I was contemplating calling the whole thing off.  I mean, why spend the money if he is going to refuse to wear it?  Thankfully, my mom read between the lines.  She grabbed the 3rd and final hat option and said, "Is this the hat you want, Jack?"  He lit up, shouted "Yeah!" and pulled the hat snugly onto his head. 

He's worn it every day since.

21 months, but already he has a mind of his own!
