welcome to parenthood

Set-up: Hudson and I have been in Dallas for five days and just spent a day at Vacation Bible School and the pool for a play-date. We’re home and we’re happy to spend some time with TC. Our family is back together after five days apart. I suggest that TC give Hudson a bath. TC remarks on Hudson’s stench, which I didn’t know he had. Maybe it’s from traveling, swimming in Dallas, I don’t know. But apparently there was a definite odor!

Scene: I’m cooking supper for the three of us and suggest that TC go ahead and give Hudson his bath. TC bathes Hudson and they return to the table to eat. And this conversations occurs:

Me: Bring me Hudson’s comb.

TC: {starts combing Hudson’s hair into a crazy high mass of hair.}

Me: Stop. He doesn’t need to look like a televangelist.

TC: Well his hair is a little long.

Me: Do you think we should cut it?

TC: Well…. yeah!

Me: Why?

TC: Because our stinky kid doesn’t also need a mullet!

And…. scene.

Yep, welcome to parenthood.

    Hahaha! 🙂 We had that converstaion several times before I would agree to cut Jake’s hair. He was 13 months when he got his first haircut…I didn’t want him to lose that baby look, so we gradually cut it each time. He eventually lost his adorable curls in the back, which made me so sad.
