happy boys

They were great today. I don't want to say well-behaved, because they are so little, what would that mean anyway. I spent the morning indulging in a salon visit. I got my hair cut, and I was so nervous but determined to cut it all off. I told Rachel to cut off up to my shoulders, she measured it at 6" and I freaked out. So we compromised at 4". After coming home and messing with it a while I want more off. The angle isn't as dramatic as I had hoped. I will live with it for a while and next time I will get much more cut off in the back. Now I just look like I did in college. JJ is a fan of that.
I didn't do much around the house, just a load of laundry and cleaned the bathroom. We played with playdoh and got out the instruments to play with while I slinged H. He seemed to enjoy the noise and dancing. I played some reggae for August during his dinner time and it went smoothly. He grooved in his booster seat.
I am reading an interesting and simple book about parenting and some of the ideas are foreign to me but make a lot of sense. It's my first parenting book! I've skimmed some others but that's it. I'm not interested in specifics, just whole ideas anyway and I think I will be able to take a lot away from the book. I'm glad I was raised to be a very critical thinker! I had a talk with a friend of an older child about her relationships and the struggle to meet needs. I must say I am glad my boys are at the age they are right now. Issues are in front of us, not behind us yet.
