A fish with a new home!

On Saturday we went to the lake to go boating. Jordan went out on the boat with his favorite blue hat. When he came back, he was crying the saddest cry that I have ever heard. I had not idea what happened. He told me that his blue hat flew off his head. It was the saddest thing that I had ever seen. I wanted to cry with him. He kept asking his dad to go back out and look for the hat. The boys all did, but they could not find it. We were able to distract Jordan until we got in the car. Then the talk of the blue hat came back up. We told Jordan that on Monday we would go and get him a new blue hat...or any color that he wanted. He still wanted the new hat, but also the old blue one too. We had read that book about the farmer who loses his hat and finds that a bird has taken the hat and made a new home in it. So the farmer got a new one. We told Jordan that the fish had made a new home in his hat and that was a really nice thing for him to do. He thought about it for a while and then told us that he wanted to go and get his fishing pole so that he could go and get his hat. Mike and I thought it was so funny. Needless to say, we talked about the hat the whole 45 minute drive home.
