Conversation with the hair dresser

I love my kids. I'm trying to be better about stopping and taking a minute to watch them and enjoy them - the dishes, laundry, and all the other millions of distractions can wait. I only have them at this moment in their life right now - no redo - so enjoy the moments.

So...haircut time. Eli and Dylan sit down to get haircuts at the same time. Morgan is so interested in what they are doing to her brothers - she stops and stares and calls out "EY" which is about the only word she knows - almost everything is "EY", which Dylan graciously accepts. So she staring, Dylan is smiling from ear to ear and occasionally laughs because it tickles. Eli is so big now he tries to talk with the hair cut lady. "I'm Eli and that's my brother Dylan. I tried to cut my hair. " (Yep, during school - snipped a chunk right off the front). "My dad cut my hair and he cut my ear. It still hurts." (Okay he did try and straighten out the front so it wasn't so off. And then when he was probably 3 or 4 Neal cut his hair and nicked his ear. It's funny that he remembers that.) I laugh and say, no it doesn't. "I like playing Lego Batman and that other kid" (He means Robin) "Dylan you are doing so good." Dylan says smiling, "Yeah I know!" "On Batman Lego's there are good guys and bad guys and the bad guy Joker can shock people and make their skeleton show." (The haircut lady is saying an occasional oh and yes) . Morgan has now found a seat across from the boys and it watching and calling out "EY". Eli continues on nearly the entire time he's getting his hair cut. It made me smile. One of my favorite mom moments is to watch them do something that shows their personality and how their brain works. Thank you hair cut lady for enduring the Lego Batman stories.
