Gum Out!

Well, we got the gum out! Yay!!! The poor kid had to sit around with peanutbutter in his hair for 30 minutes (directions from Google said to let it sit). We got some great pics and a video to mark the day. Thankfully, he hadn't cut much off his hair before I caught him last night. You can't even tell he did anything to it. *whew* He was really scared he'd be in trouble over this one, but like Aleksa's haircut, the fact that there was gum in his hair is bad enough... no extra consequences necessary. He won't do it again, and that's the goal to any discipling, isn't it? This morning after really explaining that *everyone* does the gum-in-the-hair trick once in their life, and even MAMA did it, he let himself start to think this was actually funny. It was.

Whew, I'll bet you were glad The peanut butter trick worked! I guess that really is a welcome to parenting moment! I can't wait to enjoy such precious memories, too. By the way, I was thinking about Adam's Christmas ideas and remembered that lego's sells little kits that you can build cars with. They are very inexpensive (around 5-10 dollars) and my nephews played with them ALOT. They can take them apart and put them back together in lots of different ways- they even come with the little lego people that you can put in them. Great little gift. I'll keep thinking...
