I realize that for many babies, their first haircut occurs after many months of life and is a very big deal. Sam, however, gets a haircut every five minutes. Since he's not a girl, I can't pull it back into adorable barretts or bows or ponytails. The only accessories it gets are food and snot, which he applies liberally with his fists after they have visited his mouth and nose, or even more delightfully, the dog's. It's like having the convenience of a bib on his head--if he wants to pry, smear, daub, or merely redistribute anything off his hands, his hair is there ready to recieve it. My hair is also there to receive it, apparantly, which is why mine has been confined to a ponytail for 12 months.Wednesday, January 31, 2007

I read this out loud to my six year old boy, telling him that he used to do the same thing. I laughed so hard! Once he finally understood what Sam was up to he was very grossed out. I don't see why! I mean every time he goes to play in the mud he wipes his hands off much the same way, and ends up with mud everywhere! Thank you for brining back those wonderful memories!
