Stories from Candace:

Did I mention he cut his own hair yesterday?

I went in the bathroom where he was combing his hair up into a pretty serious mohawk. I talked to him about it for a bit and then went back to the kitchen. Not ten minutes later he was yelling at me for some more toilet paper, so when I took it in to him I saw in the corner of my eye tufts of hair in the sink along with his little red craft scissors. Taken aback.. confused.. "Wait what? Ohhh no, no no no!" And I turned to see him, ear-to-ear grin.. with the whole front of his hair whacked right down to the scalp. Long and fluffy on the sides.. just straight across, eighth-of-an-inch buzzed bangs. SIGH.

Planets

Alden called me tonight to tell me about his field trip to the Clark Planetarium on Friday. He was quick to remind me that I was not there and equally as quick to offer me some information regarding the fact he was the only kid in his class that did not have a family member present. I feel horrible...

Goal: Regardless of how difficult an obstacle, make the next field trip.

On a good note, he loved the trip. He taught me a thing or two about planets and the atmosphere. I love him so much.

Alden's been at my Mom's all weekend, she just sent me this. S



So cute... :)
