My boy's got skills...

So Aaron and I both learned something this holiday season. Aaron learned that kitchens aren't too girly for boys and I learned that Jacob isn't too young to start snowboarding.

We also learned that whoever came up with the expression "Like taking candy from a baby" was either grossly misinterpreted or never had kids. I got some highlights and a haircut on Friday and Aaron and Jacob came to pick me up. While my hairdresser was putting the final touches on me, I asked her if she wanted to try to cut Jacob's potential mullet. So we gave Jacob a sucker and she was able to clean him up pretty well! He moved around a lot, but she was quick and able to do a much better job than Aaron or I could give him. Things took a turn for the worse though when we returned to the car and took the sucker away from Jacob. (We didn't want him to have it when we couldn't watch him very well - also, he was a huge sticky mess). Jacob did the wide open-mouth cry where nothing comes out FOREVER. He cried harder over that darn sucker than he has cried about anything in his life! It was so sad! Aaron and I felt terrible and needless to say we were thinking "What kind of idiot thinks it's easy to take candy from a baby?!"
