Mommin' It Up since 2004!
Since the day Sam was born, he’s had awesome hair.
As he’s grown, it’s only become more beautiful.
The problem? He hates getting his hair cut.
No really. He hates it.
So to make it quick and end all of our pain as soon as possible, we broke out the clippers. And now he looks (and I feel) like this.
Where did my baby go?

Sam’s been at a new school since the first of November, and while for the most part everything is going great, ever since we’ve been back from Christmas break, he’s been having a rough time at drop off. He’s such a creature of habit that when there’s a slight change in routine, which there’s bound to be, he is not a fan. In the mornings and afternoons, a lot of times his class will merge with the class across the hall, because there aren’t a ton of kids there. He does NOT like that at all. And if that merge takes place in the morning and I’m not dropping him off in his regular classroom? It’s bad.
He doesn’t cry, he doesn’t pitch a fit… he just doesn’t want me to leave. He clings to my leg. His lip quivers. And though he moves past it pretty quickly, I’m having a hard time doing the same.
It’s not the way to start the day, for either one of us.
I’m not sure what to do, though, other than to ride it out. However, I am open for suggestions. Any words of wisdom from the other moms out there?
We’ve had a week or so to digest all the craziness that is Christmas, and I was just thinking about a couple things I’ve become obsessed with come to love during that time… hence this post! Here are a few of my favorite Christmas presents:
Cotton Modal Crew Top from Lands’ End. I got one of these a few weeks ago to wear under a sweater, and the first time I put it on, I told Andy I wanted one in every color. The next day, I got an email from LE announcing a sale, so I bought myself one in (almost) every color. A couple days later, two packages from LE were on my doorstep. I opened them both right up… and they both contained the exact same thing – this shirt in every color. I thought LE accidentally sent my order twice until I looked at the shipping labels – one was addressed to me and one was addressed to Andy. He had ordered them as a Christmas present! So I ended up with like 10 of these shirts – in duplicate colors – and I loved them so much that I kept them ALL. They are that wonderful. They’re perfect for wearing on their own or layering, and I think I’ve worn one just about every day since Christmas.
iPad Keyboard Dock. Andy also ordered this for me, and it was a complete surprise. I vaguely knew docks existed, but I had never really considered getting one. However, I LOVE it. It’s so handy – I just pop the iPad on top of the keyboard and it’s good to go. It makes emailing/blogging/whatever on the iPad much, much easier, and since my iPad has 3G, that means I could do all those things while driving down the highway (well, Andy was driving) on an after-Christmas road trip. It was a beautiful thing.
Money. I’ve got some Christmas money that is burning a hole in my pocket… which is really the point of my post – to get ideas of what I should buy with it!
So… what Christmas presents did YOU love this year?
