since my mom asked for pictures from last night's post (i'm hoping it was pictures of sawyer's new haircut, and not the bathtub incident), i pulled a few from this week and took one this morning.

also, heather mentioned in a comment below about using clippers on her two-year-old's hair. heather, i would LOVE to use clippers. i think it might be easier, and i'm not opposed to shorter haircuts either. but kenny has the aversion to clippers simply from experience. he grew up one of four boys who all got their hair cut with clippers once every few months by their dad. he thinks the clippers made his hair wire-like. that, and by the time it was the third or fourth boy's turn, the clippers were very hot, and one small movement led to a burn on the scalp.

we've also used bribery and reward. we put them in front of their favorite videos, give them M&Ms and once they hear that first "clip" it's all screams. we've given them the comb to play with and brush their hair with. it's the scissors that freak them out. i guess it's just something we have to outgrow. eventually.

our friends amy and roger have a 3 month old son, owen, who spent a few hours with us this week so amy and roger could have uninterupted conversation for 2 hours straight. we love having "baby owen" hang out with us. rowan likes to sit in his bouncy seat and ask over and over when baby owen will be arriving. sawyer likes to crouch down next to him and point very near to his eyes and say, "baby!" rowan discovered holding him this past week, and now he associates the pillow they're leaning on in these pictures with "holding baby owen."
note sawyer's very long (very "euro") hair:

this morning, kenny gave the boys whistles (rowan is actually playing his uncle andrew's recorder) and this was a shot i snapped of them playing and dancing at the same time. it's our st. patty's day tribute. note sawyer's shorter do:
