Mullets and Mothers Day

May 14th, 2006

So today was my first mother’s day, it was OK I guess, I am not sure what I was expecting. I have never been a mother on monther’s day before, so it was all very new. My MIL sent me a beautiful vase of flowers, it arrived while I was at work last night. And I got to spend the day with Brandon and Aiden which was nice, I enjoyed that. brandon made me breakfast this morning, and helped out with dishes and laundry etc, he’s usually pretty good at helping out with household stuff. There are a few things he won’t do, but for the most part he pitches in and helps (at least since we have moved to LA and I work more). It’s nice, especially since we both work full-time and have a child, that we share household duties.

Tonight, while washing my son’s hair in the bathtub I realised that his hair has gotton quite long in the back, while the front is not growing as fast. In a few weeks if I let this continue my son will have a mullet, you know “business in the front, party in the back” I have always vowed never to date, marry or have a child with a mullet, so it looks like Aiden might be getting a haircut here pretty soon. I thinking a mo-hawk, not the real thing where the sides are shaved, but maybe a faux-hawk, where they sides are just shorter and he has a long stripe down the middle. I think it’ll be cute, think Maddox Jolie-Pitt, except Aiden’s hair is a bit curlier. Aiden doesn’t want to go to bed tonight, he cried when we try to put him in bed, usually he is so good at bedtime. I think his teeth are bugging him. He is getting his top two in right now, and that can’t feel good, so we give him some baby motrin, hopefully it kicks in. Too bad they don’t make baby sleeping pills.
