Nothing makes me happier than a little boy in a jaunty hat -- especially when that little boy happens to be one of my own.

I was lucky enough to win an <a href="http://www.elislids.com/">Eli's Lids</a> fedora(ble) over<a href="http://whoorl.com/archives/10910"> at Whoorl</a> (gotta love blog giveaways!) and I expected it to go to my <a href="http://frogandsnail.com/2011/02/boys-and-style/">clotheshorse middle son</a> -- he was already wearing a fedora daily and I thought this would give him a chance to air out his beloved Indiana Jones fedora. But kids being kids, instead of being happy and grateful for his unexpected gift, he burst into tears at the sight of the new <a href="http://www.elislids.com/store/fedorables/#ecwid:category=2353311&amp;mode=product&amp;product=10132072">gorgeous tan fedora </a>and proceeded to stomp on it. And then he threw it in the garbage.

Kids!

So I dug it out and I was very pleased to see that after a little shaking off it just popped right back into place -- it looked like new! These things are indestructible, and when you have little boys indestructible is exactly what you need.

Baby brother, who is no fool, saw his opportunity, grabbed the hat and made it his own. I think he looks quite fetching, don't you?
