Is it really June??? Already? Time is going so fast. We are going to have a nice relaxing summer full of swimming, sleeping in, making homemade icecream and hanging out with family and friends.
Chris graduated from high school last week. It was fun to be able to go to his graduation. I remember graduating from high school. for me, it didn't feel like a huge accomplishment, but there was an excitement in the air. an end of an era. I felt the same thing for him. It won't be the biggest accomplishment of his life either, but fun to celebrate finishing something.
Jo, mom and me. and the random man in the background who wanted to join our picture.
and Mr. Sam.
And I added this one because we can refer to this as "pre" cutting her own hair... That happened today during nap time. She is still in her room. I hope she realizes I am NOT happy. I needed a minute to calm down cause she knows better and it's sooo ugly. I have to move on because apparently I'm still not over it. Just this morning we straightened her hair and talked about how long and flowing it was....and how pretty it was. not any more. She is so cute in baby ballet and she's getting better and better about putting her clothes on and dancing. She is cute though.
we went to Disneyland a few weeks ago. people say we were crazy for taking a 2 month old on that trip. he did great. what a little trooper. he is growing so fast. we love him so much. he is such a good baby. he's sleeping all night (knock on wood) and is usually so happy. he only poops once a week. but, we are working on that. he smiles and talks to us and only really cries when he's had enough. Like 5 o'clock traffic in LA. Josh graduated from kindergarten and he's so ready to be in the first grade. I just looked over at him right now and he has a spider man costume on (including mask and gloves) with a "cool" safari vest, a woody hat and sunglasses on. What a sight! He is always making little projects with paper and glue. I often find little gifts taped to the walls in my bedroom. Sometimes its a flower, sometimes its batman with a knife and soccer ball. never really know what's coming next.
Sometimes I want to fast forward in time and see what damage I am doing to my children. Am I too mad at Charlee? (see, I'm still thinking about it) I remember knowing when my mom was mad at me. I got yelled at. I cried. Would she have been mad at me if I cut my own hair? Did I ever cut my own hair? I don't remember. I bet I would remember if what happened to Charlee this afternoon happened to me!!! People tell me that I let her get away with too much. I don't want to be that parent. Nick thinks it's not fair for Josh. Josh is always the sensitive one, I think she is pretty sensitive too. Josh is sensisweet and Charlee is sensimean. (yes, i just made those words up). I'm going to work on remaining calm. I need to read love and logic again. I need some reminders.
5 I've got something to say:
That girl...can't wait to hear the story!
I can't wait to see it! Post a picture for heaven's sake! I hope Campbell never does it, she doesn't have enough to even it out to make a cute short hair cut like Charlee does.
Everyone Needs a cutting their own hair story, but if my kids do it, I'm sure I'll do what Madelyn told me once is my "scary face." "you know mom, when you put your teeth together like this and talk really mean." Raising kids is all about winging it. I have no idea what I am doing, but the more time goes by, the more comfortable I am with having no clue! You are a super mom. I love when you update your blog. :)
I love when you update your blog too!!! I can only imagine how mad you were, but at least she is little still. We had some friends do that when they were not so little. I do want to see a picture though.
I think it's normal to be mad/frustrated when they cut their hair, even if it's a little bit hilarious too. But what the heck do I know. I still can't stop laughing about the man who wanted to join your picture.
