I’ve been quiet on the blog front for a bit — busy with vistors, work, and other stuff. Thus, I shall do one of those convenient point-form posts to catch you all up on what’s going down in my life:

My youngest son has been bugging me for a few weeks to give him a haircut. Yesterday I knew he wasn’t going to let it go when he told me he wanted “one of dose pointy haircuts — like da fings ona dragon’s head!“
Today he has a mohawk. He’s pretty impressed with it. I’m sitting on my hands in an effort to restrain from loading it with product. It’s rather cute and I can see his pointy little ears now.
Yesterday was “Needle Day” for my two little guys. We’d been building up to this for a couple weeks, as my youngest isn’t the biggest fan of needles (for obvious reasons). I was truthful when they asked if it would hurt and we talked about different things they could do when the shot was administered.
I had to have a lot of blood work done as a child so now, at age 32, I’m “old hat” with needles. They really don’t bother me in the least and I credit this with one of my parents (my Mom, I think) teaching me to watch the needle going into my arm. Their reasoning was that it’s much easier to be afraid of the unknown than it is to be scared of something you can see. I explained this to the boys, and told them that they could also look away if they thought that would make them feel better.
At the office, when it came time for the boosters, our Doctor told the boys that they should look away and take a deep breath — that by the time they let it out, the needle would be done. She didn’t like my idea of having them look — thought it would “traumatize” them. (more…)
