The age of questions...

...is apparently 3! Greyson has always been a talkative child, but since his 3rd birthday more and more of his ramblings have turned into the form of a question. It truly dawned on me a couple weeks ago when we loaded in the car to head to Mimi's house. We had just merged onto the highway to begin our 3 hour drive when out of the backseat I hear "mommy, are we there yet!?" One half of me wanted to laugh and the other half wanted to cry. Luckily the laughing side won over. The good news is he is only 3, so his questions aren't very complex. The bad news is he is 3, so he asks the same questions over and over and over and over....well you get the point. For those of you already wondering, no he has not asked the most dreaded question known to parent-kind. However, I am already prepared for when that day comes. I devised a plan of attack a long time, so I already know exactly what I will say when I am faced with those 5 little words - where do babies come from?

Blast from the Past

Everyone has things that they hold onto even if they aren't sure why. I am definitely guilty of this on many accounts. The other day I was reacquainted with one of those items. If you are over the age of 25 then you have probably heard of a little thing called the Topsy Tail. It was a simple little device that merely helped you flip your pony tail into a fancy knot. I couldn't tell you exactly how old thing is, but when I was in elementary and middle school it was all the rage. So you can imagine my surprise when I was flipping through a magazine one day and I came across an article that was teaching you how to do this. I have to admit that I was a little giddy knowing that upstairs under my bathroom cabinet I had a much simpler solution than their step-by-step instructions. I immediately had to bust it out and see if my hair was long enough and luckily it was! The only bummer was that the girl in the magazine was doing it with and fish tail braid (looked super cute) and mine is only long enough to do just the plain pony tail. Still it was nice for something different. A mom needs all the easy hair ideas she can get!
