Like Son, Like Mom

It’s the Sunday afternoon of our long weekend and Nate and I are trying to recharge a bit while Graham goes to pick up a load of top soil from the garden centre. Nate and I seem to “hit the wall” around the same time every day. A few minutes ago I switched from my sun hat into my baseball cap and as soon as I did that, Nater put his on, too. Then he asked me to wear mine “like cool dudes.” This is what he meant. (That’s me and my no makeup, tired, yet happy, in love with my kid, long weekend face.)
