sniff, sniff

our little someone woke up with the sniffles. i tried my best to stay away from him but i'm not feeling that great. hopefully i'm able to rest it off. baba suctioned his nose and rubbed him down with some vapor rub before bedtime. we don't want it getting any worse. this is my fear of him going to school. i want him to learn and socialize, he would love it. but i'm scared of what he may bring home. it was already a concern before, but now that i still have recovering to do it scares me more. it's not so much the common cold, but other scary stuff i hear mothers talk about. at the same time, i can't exactly live in fear. he's going to school at some point.

i asked him how he liked my hair cut. he said, "it's nice. mama, you look pretty." awww, what a charmer. finally, i chopped the long overgrown mess of my hair. haven't done anything with it since getting it permed last year, probably around this time. i absolutely hated how long it was while being sick, it was such a hassle. now it's nice and light and feels so much better! nj is next once he's feeling better. he's somewhere between the old man sweep and emo look. in his sunday class there was a boy who's hair was long in the back and the rest was a mohawk. so cool! can't pull that off with nj i don't think. we're not sure what kind of "look" he has. seeing that kid made me think about it and nj doesn't really have one. not that he needs to (or that we care), he's a little boy. a little boy should look like a little boy. we don't really dress him in a certain way, all his clothes have been from other generous families. i guess we'll have to see how his opinion develops once he has one. that'll be interesting!
