So, Canaan was really ready for a haircut...his second ever. I know he got his first haircut just a few months ago, and it took a bit of convincing that he needed another, since his hair is still so thin. However, the ends were split and very fly-away all over and this haircut helped even all his hair out so maybe it will continue to grow in and thicken evenly!
I must say, the haircut took 6 months off his looks, which is quite a lot when you are just 3! I almost cried! In fact, it took me several days to get used to it and like it. I was just devastated. And then Canaan told me he wanted long hair like a girls' which made it harder for me! Long hair might be cute on him, but his hair just doesn't want to cooperate! I am afraid that I've given him a complex about it, because when he was talking about his friend's sister today (who is just 5 months old), he said, "She just has a little bit of hair." Perhaps it is me who is paranoid! :) Leave it to the mom to worry!
But, his cut looks very nice and I am pretty used to it now, 6 days later!
In other news, I posted a facebook status that I thought I'd share with you all. I am told that this is just the result of raising BOYS, and honestly, it makes me chuckle, thinking back on it, so here goes. Yesterday Dougle caught Max trying to chew up some already chewed gum. Who knows where he got it, but he was in the hall and I hope it didn't come off the bottom of one of our shoes! Today I also was trying to explain to Canaan why he couldn't draw with the Sharpie. Afterward, I looked over at him because I thought he was being melodramatic and pretending to cry and sniff loudly. No crying. He was just deeply inhaling the marker over and over! Ah, sniffling at such a young age! And then a day or two ago, Canaan and I were playing trains in the hall and Max was chewing on a crayon. Well, I thought it was a crayon, but it was a used

cigarette!!! GROSS!! Yuk! WE must check our shoe bottoms I guess, because that has to be how he gets these things. Everyone here smokes (it is super cheap) and so there are cigarettes lying around everywhere; we must just track them in. Of course a few days before that, I came out of the bathroom to find Max had the trash pulled over and was eating handfuls of old oatmeal and coffee grounds out of it! I guess I can't watch them every second of the day, though Max seems to need it these days! But, my children are surviving, despite everything they are trying to do to harm themselves! I am just very thankful to God that we haven't had any trips to the emergency room, since that might be a bit of a bigger ordeal here in Ukraine! God has blessed us with health and safety and we are grateful!

Lucy, you may have wanted to cry when the haircut took 6 months off Canaan's age, but I wanted to cry at the latest photos of him because he looked WAY too grown up! Where did that sweet baby go??
You know you can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but . . . .
Hi Lucy
I laughed when I read about the gross things that the boys have eaten. It reminded me of the time David Ross was chewing something and I pulled it out of his mouth. The "something" moved in the palm of my hand!!!! It was a large snail.
Just remember these moments in the future when your sons refuse to eat something you cook. It is not personal. It is not about your cooking abilities. It is about boys having no ability to discern when it comes to food.
A great hair cut will do you look sexy and attractive, so if you have long time ago that you don´t practice a change in your hair, this is the moment, most of all if you want to get something like a date. To have a good hair style is very important not only for women but men or anyone. Then you could try to
buy viagra and the result you will see.
