mohawk

It was hair cut time again, and this time Carter decided to keep it this way for awhile. He said he wanted to show all the family and maybe some friends but cut it before he went out in public. Monday he was able to show all the family and even some friends. Today I offered to take the boys out to lunch, he hesitated and touched his hair, but decided to go for it. Tomorrow he gets braces, will the mohawk make it for that? We will see.

I bought some sponge rollers to try and see if I could get Claire's hair to curl. I have fond memories as a little girl sleeping in these magical rollers to awake the next day to wonderful curls that my straight hair could never imagine. Claire was equally excited to experience the magic.

round one:

I used the smallest rollers thinking that her hair is so straight it might not take and wanted to have the best chance possible. Boy did her hair curl! A little too much! but she loved it and proudly bounced around all day. When she first saw the curls she said she was so happy to finally have curly hair. I had to break the news that these curls were not permanent.

round two:

I used the two largest rollers and we came out with a much better result. Her nickname changed from Claire Bear to Curly Claire for the day. This day was a school day and she was in heaven showing them off to everyone at school.

good hair day?

Carter came downstairs one day looking like this and saying that this was the look he liked for himself. First, the hair. Carter has a long history with his infatuation with hair...see pix at bottom of post. Second, the shirt, I have already mentioned my feelings about sleeveless shirts here. And last but not least is the necklace. What can I say, he got it at Mimi's garage sale and loves it. I know from past experience that it will lose it's charm soon, so I let it go. When I told him I wanted to take a picture of him, he didn't want to smile for the camera, but instead did the "cool" look, but I finally got a cute Carter smile. When Allen said that we should pole the girls at school to see if they think Carter looks the cutest this way, Carter turned red and ran back upstairs.
