I absolutely love how my cousins in Florida have a baby boy named Kaylen who is the same age as my son Simon. They look alike but are so very different. I love watching them grow and change into their little personalities. I knew I had to make Kaylen some hats to reflect his cute little self but also make his daddy proud. He’s a truck driver 😉
