A couple of my girlfriends and I alternate houses hosting a day of play each week for our energetic toddlers. This gives us a chance to run errands, play, shop, sleep, or do whatever our hearts desire. Since the boys nap, it usually ends up being a full 5 hours off (or on when it's my week to host). I highly recommend this to anyone who doesn't have the luxury of family close by. They have become so close, and Cy loves my friends like Aunts.
Have you ever seen a haircut on a kid that was so ugly, it was actually cute? This is how I feel about Cy's bowl cut/toupee look. Mike wants to buzz it and thinks it's horrible. Cy was so difficult and wouldn't let me shape it, but it makes me happy and gives me a laugh. Is this child abuse?
