Haircuts

It was past time for haircuts at my house.  I dread haircuts....especially with Jonah.  We either have to take him out to a shop and run the risk of rude questions being asked about his skin, or cut his hair ourselves.  I am NOT a good barber.  You can ask any of my college roommates who I happened to practice on many years ago and they will verify my claim.  I fear I have not gotten any better as time as passed.
So that means that Joe is the official hair cutter around here.  This time around when he went to cut Jonah's hair, Jonah got upset and would not sit still for Joe to even make the first cut.  I could tell Joe was getting frustrated and so I asked Jonah what the problem was.  I knew he could not be scared of the scissors since this is certainly not the first time he has had Joe cut his hair.  Jonah responded with;

"I'm worried what it will look like when he gets done!"

I guess I am not the only one in this house lacking skills as a barber!!!!

Sweet Tart Chews

Oh what a morning this has started out to be! Obviously, Jonah was hiding a piece of candy from me when I put him to bed last night. The little sneak then fell asleep and got it stuck in his hair!
I was in total shock when I got him up this morning and saw a large pink sticky blob of candy entangled in his hair and plastered to his scalp. Ugh. Definitely not the way I had planned for my Monday morning to go.

Thank God I have Internet and was able to Google what to do!!! What did mothers do before Google? A bottle of baby oil and a few snips of the scissors later, and the candy was all gone.
It is not too obvious....is it?? Oh well, I guess we will be a little later taking our Christmas pictures that I had planned! Now please excuse me as I am off to see what else Monday has in store for me.

A First Time For Everything

This is Noah's first week back at school since the baby. Yesterday went well. I waited until Jonah was down for his nap and Micah had just been fed, so Noah and I had the afternoon to ourselves. Today we were not so lucky. Jonah only slept for thirty minutes at naptime (barely enough time to drag all the school stuff out) and Micah decided that he needed to spend over an hour enjoying a late lunch. This means that I homeschooled a five year old, and nursed a newborn, and entertained a sixteen month old with a flashlight...all at the same time. Talk about multi-tasking! It is a good thing Mom came over this morning and let me get a little sleep or I would have pulled my hair out by the time we were done.
While Mom was here this morning she took pictures of Noah and Jonah's new haircuts. I see that she already posted them. I should have taken a video of the cutting process. Jonah would not sit still and Joe was about to have a nervous breakdown. I laughed until I had to leave the room because it was hurting my incision so much. I waited as long as possible before cutting Jonah's hair because I knew it would make him look so grown up. After the cutting was over, I looked at Jonah and said, "I don't have a baby anymore." Noah looked up at me like I was crazy and said, "Momma, that is okay, you just brought home a new one!"
Yes, of the four males in the house, Micah does have the most hair now. He has hair ALL OVER! His ears are furrier than a puppy dog's ears. Joe threatened to cut Micah's hair while he had the scissors out the other day, but I put my foot down. I suffered with heartburn in order for him to get that hair, and by golly he is keeping it until it falls out on its own!

Jonah's First Hair Cut

This is Grammy Joan again with some pictures.

This weekend Joe decided it was barber time for the boys and himself. Jonah's hair has never been cut but was beginning to curl up and look a little scraggly. He looks like he grew up at least 6 months immediately.

Noah wanted a short hair cut so that when he and Jonah decide to wrestle than Jonah wouldn't have enough hair to grab hold to and pull! So now out of the four males in the house, Micah probably has the most hair!

Last is a picture of Noah being such a great big brother & playing with Micah.
