Son Protection

Gilbert has never liked having anything on his head. When he was a newbie, the stocking caps were a nuisance. Then it was the hood on his sweatshirt. Plus his head is large so finding a hat that fits and doesn't cut off the circulation was a challenge. So we gave up.

However, with the warm weather comes the sun and we need to protect his nug from those UV rays that pass through the gaping hole in the ozone! Enter the floppy hat. Those of you that know me, know Dad is a big fan of the floppy hat. My inventory is impressive. So, it was only natural to get Gilbert a camo floppy.


I wasn't around the first time, but I'm told it didn't go well. So, we started to put the hat on him while he was being distracted. Eating seemed to be the ideal time. Tonight we had it on him after his 'boob and a meal'. As you can tell, you'd think he loves the hat. A few times we had to distract him with clapping or other gestures to get his hands off the hat and prevent him from pulling it off his nug.

And, yes, again he sees the orange light on the camera and he knows it is 'picture time'. He's getting out of hand!
