Big Boy, Proud Mama

Because I removed the second engorged tick from Elias' head today, which had probably been there a few days hiding under the mass of hair, I decided enough was enough. No, I did not decide to pack our bags and head for more skyscrapers and less trees. I decided to GET HIS HAIR CUT. All by myself....after work and daycare....with Christopher miles away in Oregon.

And guess what?!

WE DID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We went to Great Clips. He sat in my lap while watching WordWorld (his new favorite video series), fussed a little, but didn't fight AT ALL. It was done in 15 minutes. We had talked about being a big boy all the way there and if he sat still, we could pick out anything at Walmart. It was amazing! I think I feel just as proud as when he started walking. Nothing compares to the feeling of pride and knowing that something you have worked so hard for, something you wish would be better, has finally come to fruition. It was like starting a new chapter in Elias' little life. He is growing up!

I have a ton of homework to do and /or should probably be in bed, but I just HAD to share!
