Haircuts and 'Noculars

John decided he wanted a haircut tonight. Daddy asked him how he should cut his hair, "With scissors (basically a trim), short like Daddy's (a buzz cut) or a Mohawk." John said "I don't know what a Mohawk is shaped like!" Daddy showed him a few pictures online and John emphatically said "A Mohawk! Super spiky!" Daddy cut John's hair. Truly a test of Daddy's patience and John's ability to sit still. As Daddy was making his final touches, Gillian saw her brother's hair for the first time. She said "You make him bald like Daddy? Can I touch it?"

I tucked Gillian into bed tonight. Part of our nightly routine is snuggling in each kid kids bed for a little one-on-one time. She normally just babbles about her day. Tonight she made circles out of her hands and fingers and put them against her eyes. She said "These are 'noculars! You can see really far. In the jungle! Wanna try?" As she asked me, she shoved her 'nocular hands into my eyes and had me look around the room.
