Saturday, January 14, 2006 Son and Hair The other day I put M. Small down for a nap in his crib. When I put him in, he was fast asleep. I positioned him on his back, with his head pointing north, in the north end of the crib, and put a blanket on top of him. When I checked on him a half hour later, he was on his stomach, with his head pointing south, in the south end of the crib, on top of the blanket. Clearly, somebody is sneaking into my house during my child's naps and flipping him over like a flapjack. * * * Trash put off M. Small's first haircut for the longest time. She said we just needed to wait until his first birthday. I waited until then and then brought it up again, but she still wasn't ready, even though he was growing a little baby-mullet, with lengthening blond curls in the back and bangs straight down his forehead. So I backed off. Our Christmas card photos turned out nice:  So I backed off. Verbally, at least. I occaionally still did passive-aggressive stuff like messing with his hair before he went to bed so he would wake up looking like this:  And even when I didn't, his hair started giving him this tiny-little-stoner vibe:  He ended up getting his first haircut about six weeks after his first birthday. I always wondered how they got little kids to hold still long enough to do more than run a set of clippers over their scalps. I needn't have worried. M. Small's first haircut coincided with his first experience with a Blue's Clues video. He was riveted for the duration.  That first haircut was only a month and a half ago, and he's already starting to need another one.  I'm keep trying to get Trash to let me get his hair cut like this:  But so far, she isn't going for it. I'm thinking it might be too late, anyway. nothing's sadder than somebody wearing a hairstyle that's too young for him. * * * Four-cap week starts tomorrow. This is Fox's second annual attempt to kill me by forcing me to recap four hours of 24 in one week. See you on the other side. * * * Today's best search phrase: "Who mows the lawn? We do!" Yeah, you tell Google. Lazy, good-for-nothing, no-lawn-mowing search engine. posted by M. Giant 8:06 PM 8 comments 8 Comments:That photo in the barber shop is the cutest thing. I'm really not a 'baby person' at all...but your son is PRECIOUS.
By Your son has rock-and-roll hair. Get him a bitty drum set and some little tiny black Chuck Taylors and prepare for greatness.
By You know, I just have to say it -- Trash has great hair. I would kill for that hair.
By I don't know about elsewhere, but M. Small's tiny-little-stoner hair is all the rage here in Vancouver. Stick him on a skateboard or a snowboard and he'd fit right in.
By Beautiful Christmas photo!

M. Small is indeed a very cute boy. Perhaps he'd like to marry one of my daughters someday. I have one that's about his age. Just give my matchmaker a call.
By A flapjack is a pancake. Or a hotcake, if you prefer. Or maybe you're being a wise-ass and I don't know it. Regardless, I like the VH similarities.
By Yehhhh!! M. Small photos at last -- wow, is it possible that he is becoming even more adorable!
