The first time.

Tonight was the first time in more than a year that you have not screamed the house day when getting your hair washed. HOORAY. In fact, you did so well and managed to hold the washcloth over your eyes to stop the water getting in. I am so proud of you being able to do this. When I wanted to get a photograph of you to document the first time of no screaming you became such a goofy comic. Roaring and cackling at the camera like a crazy kid. It was lovely to see you being so playful, you usually hide whenever you see the camera pointing your way. Sadly though for most of the day you have been one tough cookie. Was it something you ate? did you sleep funny? Was it something we said? Are you lamenting your mama once more joining the paid workforce? You wanted to throw everything, break everything, hit everything, kick everything, and scream at everything today. I guess we all have days like this, when we feel like doing all those things. If you aren't 2 though there is very little forgiveness for acting in this manner. I hope you get over it soon. But right now, you are sleeping in your bed, after you and I spent an hour reading stories together. And in the peace and quiet of the evening, it's easy to remember how much we love you, and how precious you are to us. love mama xoxo
