Another first

As much as I might complain about my kids' behavior, they are really good kids. Sure, they talk more with their mouths full than empty, Jamie doesn't know when to shut her mouth for her own good, and Katie grunts like an adorable little neanderthal. Generally, though, they are destructive only to clothing, and let's face it, they learned from the best.

Jamie was spectacularly well behaved as a toddler. She never climbed or got into, well, anything that we didn't show her was hers. There were no funny stories about eating diaper cream, no shoving chairs around to climb onto the counter for a cookie. She never rolled off a bed, sat in the toilet or ate a crayon.

(She's starting to sound a little too good to be true. She may not have been a physical challenge, but she was always a mental one.)

So today, when she called me into the bathroom to show me how she had ripped the towel rod out of the wall by swinging from it, I was angry, yes. Especially since she admitted that she knew it was wrong.

Yes, very, very angry.

And sort of amused.

And maybe just a tiny bit...proud.

Hairs cut

Last Monday, I finally took Owen to get his first hair cut. I suppose technically it was his second cut, since I removed the mullet myself a couple months ago. He cried his way through the entire thing, even though I was snuggling him on my lap the whole time. I'm really not sure what his issue was, but he was head turning and batting the lady's hand away and having a hard time taking a breath. It looks much better, though.

Before:

After:

And one more, because he's cute, and I can:

And yeah, he's wearing a Dora pull-up. What of it?

Ohawk

This look was achieved by holding Owen by his ankles and dipping his head into the pool.
