His signature (AKA I want to be like Bob)

Little L has a new little style of his own. I have to say it looks quite cute on him, too. It was inspired by one of our heroes - Bob (of Bob's Red Mill). BTW- Have you seen his new book People before Profit? He really is a hero. When Purple Grandma was here visiting us, we had lunch at the Red Mill and Bob was there eating with his wife. When they left  (holding hands!) I noticed that Bob's hat matched his wife's pastel striped shirt perfectly. That was such an adorable sight. Reminded me a bit of the Duggars and their matching clothes. They are such a cute couple. Maybe Kevin and I will have to do that when we are older...

Anyways, I am getting a bit off subject here. This is supposed to be about Little L. We went shopping one day with Purple Grandma and I happened to find baby sized 'Bob hats' (as we call them). I tried one on Little L and upon seeing it on him, I knew it was his destiny to wear them. Alright, I am taking it a bit far here but he seriously just looked like his was meant to wear them - like a mini Bob.
The pictures above are at the Red Mill when Little L first wore his hat, so it wasn't worn in and shaped all nice like it is now. I'll have to snap some more pics. My camera and I haven't been on speaking terms lately though. The fault is mine, and so must the remedy be. I just need to sit down and research more so that my pictures  come out the way I envision them in my head... I admit that it's just easier to blame my camera than it is to do something about it. Now that I have said that I know I have to do something about it.

Once again, off on a tangent. I can't focus tonight. As I was saying, I love seeing Bob in his plethora of hats. It's his personal style and you can always find him due to that hat. I think Little L may follow in his footsteps and these 'Bob hats' will become his own signature style. If the shoe fits (or in this case, the hat) , wear it - right?!

He is such a cutie! I was just trying to find one of those hats for Bobby and Nomi...I think it would be too cute to have the two of them in matching hats! Good luck with your camera! Your pictures are always beautiful, but I know what you mean about trying to get them from your head to your camera. xoxoxo

Oh you need to do that! We saaw them at Gymboree but I bought mine on E-Bay so much cheaper.
He looks so handsome in his plaid hat! You shouldn't be so hard on yourself about your pictures. They may not be what you envisioned but, they still are quite good. I am no photographer but I really admire the way you capture everyday life. I hope that didn't sound cheezy:)

Thank you so much Raychel - that means a lot to me!!!
Dear Nicole, I love your blog and am a longtime UK lurker but feel sure I won't sleep until I source your quote, 'the fault is mine and so must the remedy be'. I can hear a man's voice in my head - is it Mr Darcy plagued with guilt because he hadn't exposed Mr Wickham's nefarious past? Am I going slightly mad? Would anyone care to answer. Best wishes, Carrie x
Oh - how cute is your little guy! I'm a big fan of Bob as well - but I haven't read his book. Thanks for recommendation, I'll be adding it to my list!
Answering myself here...and anyone else who wants to know. Have done a bit of research (am an English graduate and lapsed librarian currently at home with a 7, 4 and 2 year old) and Nicole was indeed quoting Mr Darcy in the exact circumstances described above. I can now go to sleep peacefully - it's 10pm here. Carrie x

Yay! I was gone all day so I couldn't respond but I am glad you caught that. I was wondering if anyone would ;)
Adorable!
