Backtracking- September 1st: Haircuts

It’s been over two weeks (feels like longer) since I’ve written a post here, and it’s been at least a week since I’ve read/commented on posts by my favorite bloggers (sorry). September has just been so, so busy. I’m on my own again with the kids (after having T home all summer), I’ve slightly upped my tutoring hours from last year, I’ve been hard at work organizing events and speakers for my town’s family group, I’m doing my best to keep up with the social scene at preschool (another post on that, perhaps), and up until this past weekend, I was hard at work organizing and tagging Tiny and Buba’s outgrown clothes, toys, and books for the mother of twins consignment sale. Busy, busy, busy.

But within these last three weeks, lots has been going on that I’ve wanted to blog about- things I want to have recorded so I can remember them and share them with Tiny and Buba in the future. I’ve got lots and lots of catching up to do. This is just the beginning…

September 1st- Tiny and Buba both got their hair cut in the salon where I get my hair cut. It was Tiny’s second haircut and Buba’s third. Tiny was excited to have her hair trimmed before starting preschool, but Buba was more apprehensive. He has expressed many times since his first haircut, that he does not want “a big boy haircut” and he does not want “to lose my curlies”. So, we agreed to a trim that would clean up his shaggy do but also allow him to keep the curls. He was very happy with his hair cut, but I’m wishing we’d had it cut shorter. It’s already starting to feel borderline too long again and it’s only been a few weeks. (As an aside, I think the wanting to keep the curls attitude comes from all the compliments Tiny receives on her curls.)
