Ok sure.
He places four quarters on my dresser.
(As I enter my password to buy the app) Where'd you get those quarters?
They were in your car.
Last week he decided he wanted a hair cut.

I will say this just once, and hopefully not again, but... the 'tude has totally started with him and while I am sure most moms dread this change in their child I have to say I find it comforting and exciting. And it kind of makes me want to happy cry because well, there was a time when we didn't know just how long he'd make it and so... yeah*. How's that for perspective? Insert smiley face here.
"after"
P.S. those photos were taken less than two weeks apart...wow.

ReplyDeleteSo handsome! It's amazing how much a simple hair cut changes his looks...totally looks like a different boy!

Oh, and I feel super special to be on your blog roll! Super special!!! Thank you!!
ReplyDeleteLove the haircut!! He looks so different now that I can see his eyes better. He is so cute.
ReplyDeleteThis makes me think of that moment in "Finding Neverland" when JM Barrie says to George: "Magnificent. The boy is gone. In the last 30 seconds... you became a grown-up." I always tear up there, but yes...happy, exciting tears.
ReplyDeleteHe's always beena looker, but oh my is he handsome now! And so very grown-up. Happy you have him and he is doing so well. :)
ReplyDeleteLove his new haircut!
ReplyDeleteWe almost lost Maggie during labor (due to undiagnosed vasa previa and velamentous cord insertion) and often on those trying days I find myself even more thankful for all that she is.
Miracles!!
Holy cow, I can't believe how much older he looks!! Love your perspective, too. :)
ReplyDeleteWOw what a difference with the hair cut. so sounds like my son bringing quarters out of my van
ReplyDeleteWoah. What a difference a haircut makes. He looks so grown up!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd yes. Perspective sure is helpful sometimes. :)
Fantastic do! Makes him look more mature - still little boy but a growing little boy, you know?
ReplyDeleteso so funny and sweet! love the new do, and smart man with the quarters! :)
ReplyDeleteWow did that haircut ever age him! Also love that he got the quarters from your car! Sounds like my bigs kind of thinking haha!
ReplyDeleteThe haircut makes him look so much older and only you could put a positive spin on the preteen attitude.
ReplyDeleteas everyone said the haircut suddenly made him look older :) yes I too enjoy seeing the changes in my son and daughter as everything getting along normal :9
ReplyDeleteSo handsome and he looks so much older!
ReplyDeleteHe definitely looks like a 5th grader. How did he grow up so fast? Remember the part from the song, "Sunrise, Sunset" from "Fiddler on the Roof." I don't remember growing older, when did they?
ReplyDeleteHe went from like 9 to 12 in an instant Steph! Oh my goodness...
ReplyDeleteIt looks great!
I did not authorize any of our children to grow up. He is so very handsome!
