Snippets



I've experienced my first really bad haircut. Last night, I was called into the bathroom to check out the mess that appeared there while I was simultaneously making dinner and on the phone (important conversations too!). The surprise was little snippets of blonde hair on the rug, counter and floor. Apparently CSR felt that RTR needed a trim, his first haircut. Using kitchen scissors he cut big hunks of hair off of the top of RTR's head. As I gathered up the little curls to save for the baby book, I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. One friend pointed out how amazing it is that RTR didn't get cut or gouged. That's one thing to be grateful for. Now I'm wondering what to do about the bad haircut. The short patches are right on the top of his head. Turns out CSR used papa's razor for that part. Is RTR too young for hair mousse to keep his comb over in place? I'm just grateful he's blond so the baldness doens't show as much. The picture above is the best one I got showing one of the bald spots. The picture below is just cute.

Coffee Klatsch


When you're a busy mom, having someone else make breakfast is a heavenly treat. It turns out CSR is pretty handy in the kitchen. His latest thing is to make me breakfast, which consists of toast in some form and coffee. The first day he made the coffee, he put water in the coffee maker and added the grounds to the pot after the water went through. I thought that was a pretty good first effort and explained how to use a filter and measure out the coffee. Next day, amazement as he brewed a pretty good cup of java. I guess he thought more would be a good thing. Yesterday, he doubled the amount of water but left the amount of coffee the same. Talk about weak. Yikes. But I think things maybe improving, today was better-- but he did add sugar to the grounds. Now if I could just get him to make the toast like I like.
