First: a haircut! I cut Kent's hair last night with Jack's help, since our boy tends to be quite the wiggle monster. This was my first time cutting anyone's hair, except when I tried to help a friend in college cut the hair on the back of his head with clippers, and his hair was so thick that I kept getting the clippers stuck. Not the best experience to build on, but I think I did okay this time. The nice thing about his curls, other than the fact that they make him even more delicious than he would ordinarily have been, is that they hide my amateur-level barber skill. Plus, it's hair, so you know, it grows back.

I'll probably keep cutting it myself for a while, since I was learning as I went yesterday and I already understand how to do it better than when I started. Luckily, his classmates can barely talk yet, so they're unlikely to make fun of him for having a bad at-home haircut. The real test will come later today when we go out, and I'll be able to see whether people still ask if he's a boy or a girl.

Also of note this week: Kent took a super-long nap at school on Wednesday. He went down around 1, and when I got there at 2:40 to pick him up, he was still asleep. I waited for about 10 minutes, and then I actually had to wake him up. I couldn't believe it. He didn't do quite so well yesterday, but he's adjusting fairly well to things there and will be a pro before long, I think.
