This past week was a tough one for my lil’ guy. He was sick all last week to the point where he needed to be hospitalized overnight. It hurt me just watching him getting poked with needles and swabs, but he took it like a champ.
Here is an iphone picture of him at bedtime watching Toy Story on t.v. (sorry about the quality, dim light = poor quality)
Zen is a lot better now and is slowly getting his spunk back – I missed that about him while he was sick. Now he’s on his feet again, laughing and chasing me around the house like he used to. There is still some recovery time needed, but with the ways things are going he’ll be 100% very soon.
Not only was his sickness tough, it was a tough decision for Adam and I to have his hair cut – but it finally happened. We didn’t want to cut it because we wanted it to grow it out to see what it would look like, but the back of his head would turn into a matted mess that we finally gave in for a “trim”.
So this past weekend my sister came for a visit and I had asked her to cut Zen’s hair since she was a pro at doing it for her friends in the past. It was heartache for Adam and I to watch it get cut but I think it looks good for the time Zen gave us (he started to fuss after a few snips as you’ll see below).
Zen, one day I’ll have my way with your hair and you’ll have the mullet-mohawk I’ve always pictured for you OR in your father’s eyes, a shaved head with a long braided ponytail in the back. Yes people, we are weird parents.
Enjoy the pics everyone.
