Play doh

The past 2 times I have taken Emmry to preschool I have had to pick Trey up and carry him to the car kicking and screaming because he wants to stay. Today he was playing at a little table with some play doh. He started throwing a fit when I picked up up and so I told him that we could go home and make play doh. Within the short 5 minute drive home he was about asleep when I pulled into the driveway. As I carried him in the house and went to lay him in his bed he got mad at me and said that he wanted play doh. So that's exactly what we did. And of course he picked green. I'm positive green is his favorite color right now because that is what color he says for everything.

Binks

Last night I cut 2 of Treys binks and then today I cut one more. 3 binks down and one more to go. (at least of the total number of binks I can find)
He did really well last night. But he was very aware of where his not cut binks were at and still wanted them. I decided not to throw the binks away because he likes to hold them on his thumb. It's kinda cute actually. So I told him that he could still have them but he just couldn't put them in his mouth. That seems to work. He still likes to hold them.
I will cut the last one tomorrow...maybe. My sanity is still screaming DON'T DO IT. But the Mom in me and Trey's mouth is saying that "it is time." I worry that if I let him have the binks too long he will have teeth problems and speech problems. So yes, now is actually past time.

Mullet Haircut

Tage really needed a haircut. After we went swimming Tyson busted out the clippers and convinced Tage that he would do a good job and cut it. Tage has been begging for me to let him grow out his hair and have a mullet. Yep. Mullet hairstyles are back. I told Tyson that he could leave a section long in the back as long as the front and top of his hair is short. So thats what he did. (Because really the back of Tages hair isn't long enough to even tell that its a mullet. hahaha)
The whole hair cutting process took a long time. at least 30 minutes. Tyson messed up (several times) and all I could hear was non stop laughing in the bathroom from those 2 boys. It was hilarious. Creating fun memories like this between father and son is awesome.
