Future Barber?

Chris is home for the weekend, and we're enjoying every second with him because he goes back on Monday to finish his class. I just had to take a second to post a few pictures and share a story. You might not notice anything unusual about the picture below. Its sweet, book time before bed....scroll down.



Notice anything in the following picture? I took a close up hoping to point out the nice gap in Preston's hair.

He decided to cut his hair the other day. I walked into the room, and he was trying to open a box with scissors. He had an alarmed look on his face when he heard me enter, and I fussed at him for trying to open the box. Then I noticed what I thought was a clump of Sam's hair on the ground. Then I saw Preston's face. Its difficult to describe, but you might have seen a similar expression on your own child's face when you've caught them in the act. Eyes that say 'uh-oh' and a silence that means 'did she see me?' So I finally put two and two together and confronted him about cutting his hair. He confessed rather quickly. I asked him why, and he said, "I just did." Its really not that bad. He cut it exactly where his cow-lick is in the front. We were already scheduled with Rhonda for a cut next week so hopefully she'll fix it up. I hear lots of interesting hair cutting stories from other moms and knew our time was coming. Someone told me its like a rites of passage for childhood.

This next one is just cute. I caught him napping with his horse and cowboy boots yesterday.
