Some people may wonder what I do on my days off… but, almost everyone knows that I find plenty to do each and every minute of every hour, and rarely have a lazy day.
Yesterday was a day to do laundry, sweep & mop the kitchen, work on my bible study book and play with Mason as much as possible. I found myself watching the minute hand on the clock tick slowly by and felt “exhausted” by 9:00. I had played with Mason, swept the kitchen & bathroom, done 2 loads of laundry, worked on my workbook, and put Mason down for a nap about 9:45…phew!.. and the day wasn’t even halfway over!
The phone rang and with it came the highlight of the day! Angela was bringing lunch out to the house and my cleaning /work load was put on hold!!
McDonalds was wonderful, the boys had a blast “playing” and somehow in the middle of the visit we decided that it was time to give Dylan a haircut. My haircutting abilities are not exceptional, but they seem to be good enough to satisfy my husband and son, so why not Dylan too?! Not knowing how he would react or what to expect, we sat him in the chair, told him that it might tickle a little and coaxed him with a piece of candy, some toys and finally a sucker (which was covered with hair by the end)… and in 15 minutes the curls were gone. Dylan was now a clean-cut, handsome 2 year old with a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face!
I don’t think I’m ready to go professional, and I’m sure that it wasn’t salon quality… but I do think I should invest in a “cape.”
Thanks for trusting me Dylan (and Angela)! I think it turned out better than we could have hoped for! Here’s to you little man – you look GREAT!
