The daycare where Evan goes celebrated the week of the young child this year with different theme days…

one was crazy hair day…

Now there isn’t much you can do with short boy hair to make it crazy, but Evan was excited to try something – i think probably because he’s seen so many “crazy hair Saturday’s” with his sister that he was beginning to be a bit jealous his hair won’t fit into a ponytail (or several).

This is what we came up with – a mini spike – and some added color.

You may be looking at this picture thinking…I don’t see much difference…

There is a story there.

We go out onto the deck to put in the color and I wrap a towel around his shoulders and have him hold it, so we don’t get it on his clothes. He first questions me about the towel – why does he need it? It this going to hurt?

I start to spray the first color (that’s right, I said first…as he had chosen purple, yellow AND red), and he starts freaking out – running away from me, and waving his arms yelling “Mommy, when are you going to be done??”

So, I stop…and tell him we can be done. We don’t have to do ANY more. He says…but mommy, I want yellow and red too.

So, we start in on the second color – same story…screaming, waving, freaking out.

And so we continued through all 3 colors.

I’m sure the neighbors thought I was torturing him.
