First day of school.

Ryan started pre school today.  The morning was nuts!  It started with the fact that Ryan (Ryan that is usually up at 6am) did not want to get up.  He slept till 9am and then got mad when I woke him.  I DO NOT know where he gets that from.  Must be his Dad's side:)  Well after screaming and yelling I got him dressed.  You know that stressed me out as I don't think the diaper and no shoes look is appropriate for the first day of my little genius' education.  Then Daddy and I went and met the teachers and the kids.  I have to tell you, I was impressed.  Impressed with how well Ryan actually played with the other kids.  Impressed he didn't hit anyone.  Mostly impressed with the patience of those teachers.  I would be scratching at the windows to get out of a room of 2 year olds.  I know, I will not include this post in my Mother of the Year application.  He had a lot of fun, and I am so excited for him.  I thought I would be sad but, I am so happy for him.  I loved school and I hope he does too!

Are we suprised this is the first toy he picked up?

Things I would never do.

I used to have a long list of silly things that I would NEVER do.  God knew about this list and gave me a little boy just to show me how little control I actually have.  Here are some of them.
1. I would never be that white trash that lets there kid run around outside with no shoes and a diaper.
2. I would never let my kid get all wet and then play in the sand box.
3. I would never proceed to bathe that dirty sand covered child in the baby pool.
....well here is the evidence.  I am a changed woman.
No caption needed.
Is he funny or what?  Oh yeah those cut off sleeves were on my never list too...it goes on and on.

What is wrong with this kid?



New haircut

It was even funnier that he walked in with sunglasses on.  Too bad my nails were wet and I didn't have the camera ready.
As most of you well know both my hubby and little boy sport the buzz cut.  However, for the last couple of months I have been trying to grow out his hair so that he will look like a proper little boy at his Godmother's wedding in October.  His hair was shaggy and he was looking like the rough and tumble boy that he is.  So, I decided he needed his haircut.  Steve had it in his mind that he wanted Ry Guy to have "the Princeton" haircut.  I told him I had never heard of that and he said it was what he had in high school.  "A mullet", I asked.  "No", he said.  Then he proceeded to describe it.  Like all New Age mommas I tried to Google it.  None of the haircuts I found were it.  So a novel idea crossed my mind.  Steve could take him.  So I sat at home and painted my nails while Steve took my baby to get his haircut.  And wouldn't you know he returned a little boy!
