| What do you think? Should he keep it??? |
Haha, ok, so the stash was just for the evening. He came down and was in the living room when I noticed. I said, "Do you have a mustache??" He said, "Yes! I decided I'd make you look at it for the evening" :) In the morning he shaved it off and was left with short hair and a clean shaven face, which is all well and good until you realize the effect it might have on another little member of our household. Needless to say, Blake was extremely unsure of what to think of his Daddy. He did not run with open arms to get a hug from Daddy, no, no, he ran back to Mommy with her nice little trim, of which I'm sure he didn't notice b/c lets be honest, he IS male :)
So, when Blake decided Daddy was safe, he would let him hold him, but he looked at him with a sideways glance, rather than looking at him straight on and held back a bit from the hugs. Eventually, he would smile at him and warmed up to him throughout the day but at first he just wasn't sure what to think. This morning (which was the second day), he let Scott hold him, but he kept looking from his eyes to his face and eventually smiled, which we took to say, "Ok, I guess I'll believe that you are still my Daddy" :) He must have been surprised again at the way he looked since in the morning you expect him to be normal again :)
Well, Scott's changed appearance didn't stop Blake from enjoying some guacamole with Daddy :)
Seriously, I don't feed my kid chips that often, although it may appear so from my blog :)
Ok, so what's with the hormone comment in the title of this post? Well, good question. Scott and I decided to play 2-player Settlers on Saturday night since we haven't really been playing games together all that much with it being just the two of us. Well, I was getting schooled. Everything was going Scott's way and not mine, from getting the best spot on the board (b/c he got to pick first), to rolling 7's constantly, to having the best resources (and all the hay), and never being blocked b/c he was the one rolling 7's. So, not only was my two best producing resources blocked constantly, he was also constantly stealing my meager supply of cards! The kicker was that he still wouldn't really trade with me, and if he would ever give me hay, he robbed me for it. Then one turn, he seriously thought about trading hay with me, but decided he really didn't want me to have a settlement where I was planning to put it, so he declined, even though it was a decent trade.
Soooo, naturally, I said I didn't want to play anymore and stormed away. He came after me and asked why? and all of a sudden became very loving. I burst into tears and said he would never trade hay with me and I didn't have any way of producing it and he constantly blocked me. What do you think? Hormones?? Would I normally start crying and quit a game b/c I was losing?? No. So, he finally convinced me to finish the game and of course he won.
The next day, we decided we had fun playing Settlers and decided to play again (are we delusional??). Well, Scott won the first game and then I creamed him the second game. Did he start crying? No, but close. He turned into such a whiner and got cranky and sullen. Can you tell he was the baby of his family? Sooo, naturally, I rubbed it in. At the end, he said, "We should play again so that I can beat you and be in a good mood to go to sleep." Please note his earlier comment of the day was that I needed to get better at playing games so that he had some competition :) So anyways, I graciously played again, and yes, he beat me, so we went to bed happy. I was over my miserable defeat from the night before and we were actually joking about it, so all was well :) Turned out we had a ton of fun together regardless of the tears and the moodiness :)
