It all started last summer ... Keaton went to a neighborhood garage sale and came home with a baseball cap purchased for a quarter. It was yellow, with Big Bird on it. From then on ... he wore that cap constantly (go check out the pictures on the blog from July and August of last year)! For his birthday in August, he asked for a Cookie Monster hat. That was cap #2 ... and the cap collection had officially begun. He now has several Sesame Street characters (Elmo, Ernie, Oscar, Snuffy) ... Kermit and Animal (who are actually Muppets, but made cameos on the show), then other characters from favorite television series. Whenever he saves up enough money, he wants to purchase a new hat. He got a couple hats for Christmas. Even though the kids can't wear hats at school, he wears his hat TO school (takes it off during school hours) then puts it back on by the time I pick him up. Sometimes on Sunday, when I see him without a hat, I'm a bit taken aback, because it is such an unusual occurrence. Yes ... Keaton is cap crazy!
Cool! That's a good thing to collect! Hubby has a lot of hats, as well. It's really nice when we are going somewhere in the sun, and we have lost someone's hat - we just go grab one of Daddy's.
