This picture was taken in March 2004, so Matt was about a year and a half old. I posted it here because the events of last night reminded me so much of how much he loves the "shampoo mohawk" hairdo.
Well, life in our little basement apartment is crowded!!! By the time dinner is ready, every inch of our six inch long counter is covered, I've tripped over Dixie 8 times and I've told Matt twice to stay out of the kitchen (which involves walking three steps into the "living room").
So, last night I had visions of a relaxing evening for me. I had dinner finished (miraculously) by 6:00. Matt was in the tub, I was pretty much done the dishes and all was looking good. There was going to be time to curl up with a book!! I had washed Matt all squeaky clean while the water was still filling the tub, so when he was done playing all I had to do was pull him out, dry him off, jammy him up and put him away for the night. Sure enough, I hear his little voice calling me saying he's done and ready to get out, so I head into the bathroom. I am greeted by BUBBLES EVERYWHERE!! He has grabbed his dad's shampoo and has squirted it all over the place to make bubbles. Then he realized that it wasn't just bubble bath, it could really lather. So, he lathered up his hair (again) and made it stand up on end. There were so many bubbles going on in there I had to put new water in the tub to get him rinsed clean.
This morning Matt and I picked Aliyah up for pre-school. That little girl absolutely fills my heart with joy. Desiree came outside to wave goodbye as I was getting Aliyah all buckled in, and told me what Aliyah had said to her this morning. Their conversation went something like this:
"Mom, do you know Matthew's mom, Mrs. Candline?"
"Yes, Honey, of course I know her."
"Well, I love her. I love her like I love you. She's a nice mom. But you don't need to worry. I love you as much as I love her, okay?"
Oooohhh. Who on earth could resist that??
As I'm sitting here blogging waiting for Matt to be dropped off by Desiree (one of us takes the kids to pre-school and the other brings them home - it really is a wonderful arrangement) my phone rang. Sure enough, it was Desiree, calling to say that our children have been scheming at school. She went to pick them up, and they had discussed their day, and decided that Matt should go to Aliyah's for lunch, then stay for a short play, and that Mrs. Rachkowski could bring him home AFTER all that has taken place. I was so not expecting that whole "Can I go here to play" stuff until AT LEAST grade one. I guess I was wrong, seeing as Matt is now having lunch at Aliyah's.
Well, I must go have my own bite to eat and get ready for the afternoon of clearing out the renovation debris, going to the dump and washing the truck.
