Beauty Parlor

As you are all well aware, Mateo LOVES hair. He loves washing hair, styling hair, combing/ brushing hair, and even cutting hair. Since he decided to cut his hair and at the moment doesn't have any hair of his own to style. . . Sarah and I get the great pleasure and joy of having him style our hair. I tolerate it . . . Sarah does not. It really doesn't help when our homework with the behavior therapist is to reduce situations in the household which would encourage Sarah to engage in her screaming, fits, tantrums, etc. Mateo just doesn't get it that the reason Sarah always looks like a little rag-muffin is because she won't let me do her hair. It really really bothers him that her hair isn't beautiful. So he will chase her around the house until he can get her to stay still long enough to style her hair. His latest craze is pony tails or any other thing that requires the use of rubber bands in hair. Here are some pics of his latest Sarah creations . . . smiley stickers on the forehead and cheeks included as an extra bonus. (And the chocolate milk or ketchup or whatever other dinner remains on Mateo's face is my contribution to this blog entry . . . just want to make sure you all know I am feeding my kids. And have to keep that rag-muffin look consistent among all of my children. I can't be playing favorites here.)
