Perils of Reproduction: February 2008 Archives

So I've been pitiful about posting this week - my apologies.  Yesterday I took half a day off to get a leisurely cut-and-color from my hairsylist, and ended up with something that looks like a cross between Paige Davis' haircut and Katie Holmes bob.  So, it's short and razor-cut and perky and super easy to deal with, and Hublet is bummed, because he has a thing about long hair.  Not that I've actually HAD long hair since our wedding, nor will I ever have long hair again, because HELLO!  Long hair when you're pushing 40 tends to drag your face down and make you look older unless you've got a regular botox and chemical peel regimen, but whatever.

But Hublet's issues are not the point of this post.  No, the point of this post is that my darling Boy is awesome with the compliments.  Because when he saw my hair he said, "Mommy!  Your hair makes you look YOUNG!"

Which, okay.  If I were a pessimistic sort I might ask, "How old did I look before the haircut?" But I'm just going to take this at face value, because it's coming from a 6-year-old boy.

Now if I can just navigate him through the "does this make me look fat" minefield, I will feel as though he has sufficient life skills to make someone a fine husband.
