The buzz around here.

The boys got buzzed today.  Generally when the barber (aka Dad) suggests a buzz, I get all defensive and say no and whine and hiss.  Today, I said do it!  Their hair is so thick and sticky-uppy, I decided a buzz was just what we needed.  And somehow even with a bathroom covered in extreme amounts of hair, we feel cleaner.  Even Leo got the buzz.

Other buzz-worthy events include:

Leo got two new molars and more on the way.  If that kid even touches his mouth, he bleeds.  And still he is happy as can be.
Leo has also started to take steps between furniture.  I think the most he has taken is five.  He also stands up in the middle of the room unassisted and then gives a look of extreme pride, like he is the Lion King or something.
Benson has a loose tooth.  Does that mean I am an old mom now?  I think so.
We have added a visit to the local library for story time to our weekly routine.  My kids are so cute there, I want to die.  And they are so extremely social, introducing themselves and their "really cute baby Leo" to everyone.
Griffin is four and no longer accepts the reference "cutie pie."  Apparently once you are four, you are no longer cute.
I am way past due for a cut/color and am finally going in tomorrow.  I am thinking red?  We shall see if I am brave or not.
Today I had several reminders that God does indeed love me and know who I am.  And for that I am grateful.
Benson's kindergarten registration is coming up oh so quickly.  We have been practicing letters and cutting and gluing like mad fools.  Most of the time when I ask him to accomplish a long task (like write all of the letters of the alphabet) he cries and says it is too hard, even though he can do it.  Oh firstborn, you are in for it.
My husband is so cool I can hardly stand it.  How did I ever get so lucky?
