While attempting to cut Max's hair and being in a hurry I did not secure the comb on the buzzers as well as I would have liked.
Me (looking at the long bald line I had just created across Max's head): Hey Max how would you like to be bald like daddy?
Max: Yeah!
Me: (phew)
What I didn't capture on camera was when Rob saw the haircut. He asked Max if he could rub his head. Max said yes and as Rob leaned down to rub Max's bald head Max reached up to rub Rob's.
Sam after his baptism. (coming out of the water he said really loud "Holy Moly I'm Baptized!")
So kind of along with my Sam being old enough to get baptized comes my next act of stellar parenting.
Sam lost a tooth and put it under his pillow for the tooth fairy. When he got his dollar he was so excited but then got a little sad and said "Mom the tooth fairy gives my friends two dollars." Not wanting my boy to think that the tooth fairy loved him less than his friends and having Holly learn about the tooth fairy when she was 8 I figured he was old enough to handle the secret.
Me: Sam can I tell you something about the tooth fairy?
Sam: (a little hesitant) Yeah.
Me: I'm the tooth fairy. (thinking "see now you don't have to worry that the tooth fairy might like someone better).
Sam: (horrified): What? (starts sobbing like I have destroyed his childhood) Why did you tell me that? Can you erase it from my brain?
Me: I was trying to help. Sorry love.
Sam: Does that mean Dad is Santa Clause?
Me: No Sam that is not what that means. Let's just leave all of those secrets for another time.
Sam: (sad) o.k.
