The Haircut

This week has flown by, between work, my birthday{yay} and play dates I am in shock that tomorrow is Friday. Today was an especially amusing day, so I decided to share. Max had his little buddy Dylan over to play {or maybe I had his Mom over to talk...} either way the boys were running around the house like mad men playing with every toy they could find. We tried to keep their focus on one thing, like building a Lego tower, or setting up all the cars on the pretend streets. But, nothing seemed to hold their attention. We were fine with that, it is always good to deal with our crazy boys together and we were happy to have our on and off again conversation. As we were looking through a cookie book to plan a day of baking we should've noticed that the boys were being a little too quiet, but we didn't, we just kept talking and planning away. After a little while the boys came up and we headed downstairs to see the mess they had made. Nothing looked too bad, then we saw the bottle. Max was drinking juice from a bottle and now the top of the nipple seemed to have disappeared.... as we looked at it we knew only scissors could have done this. Sure enough, in a little medical baby kit that I had bought when Max was first born there was a little pair of safety scissors, how Dylan found this I will never know {they were calling his name} We let Dylan know that we don't play with scissors and quickly move on.We finish cleaning up the toys and say goodbye to our friends. Max sits down to watch a show and I start dinner....then Daddy comes home and is wondering what is all over Max's sweatshirt....looks like hair..... uh-oh.... looks like Dylan cut Max's hair.....wow, how did I not see this before. I really need to look more closely at my child, because this was pretty obvious{okay REALLY obvious}, and I was totally oblivious to it. As we look closer there are a ton of bald spots all over his head. I call my friend to let her know and we both get a good laugh out of it, she says sorry, which isn't necessary, since I apparently provided the scissors. I guess from now on I need to work on my child proofing skills. I had forgotten about the set, and was totally un aware that it came with scissors, I figured it just had a baby brush and a boogie sucker {you know what I mean} but no, I left scissors in my child's room, way to go mom. After a buzz cut and a shower we are back to normal, just with a little less hair, but hair grows back. I figure we all learn lessons everyday and today I learned to pay more attention.... bad,bad mommy.
