Reid has an unusual talent.
He has a unique ability to get whatever he is eating stuck in his hair.
The weird thing is that he is not a messy eater. In fact, he is quite a clean eater and when he is done he looks perfectly tidy until you try to comb his hair.
Ouch.
Ouch because what is usually in his hair is not easily removed…especially with a comb.
Syrup from pancakes, syrup from waffles, jelly from toast, chocolate sauce from ice cream and honey from thin air all seem to find their way to the top of Reid’s mop.
Ouch.
I took the boys for a haircut yesterday. Before I went I combed through their hair so they would look presentable. While working on Reid’s hair I noticed several patches of post-breakfast stickiness. I rinsed his head with water before combing through it on our way out the door. I thought I had gotten it all.
After Reid’s haircut I joked, “Did you cut all the syrup off?“
To which the lady who did the cut looked at me weirdly and replied, “Oh! I was wondering what that was.“
Ouch.
Since the boys take a bath every evening before bed, I usually try to have Reid wash his hair nightly. After a good shampoo it seems to be easier to get a comb through his wet hair before bed. I figure it gives his hair about 10 hours of cleanliness a day which isn’t bad.
The other night I was tucking him in and noticed something hanging from his hair.
What?
He has NOT eaten since his bath.
What could possibly be in the hair that I assisted in washing mere moments before?
Toothpaste.
That, is hysterical.
Princess, has that same talent. drives me bananas 😉 Love that picture of him!
OMgosh he is adorable…no matter whats stuck in his hair…just count yout lucky starts he didnt try and cut it out himself
Hey Holly, you’re about to have an usual talent too…writing your name in the snow with pee. Guess what! You won a GoGirl!
LOL That is too funny!! Maybe he should try a buzz cut 😉
Could be a sibling is wiping his hands on brother’s head. It happens! Or so I’ve heard. hee hee
My daughter has the exact same talent! But she is a bit more of a challenge in that I cannot just chop off her hair. She has long luxurious hair and refuses to cut it short…but I also cannot get that kid to keep her food out of her hair!
Haha, how does he manage this.
He could use mousse as a mousse! I do find that syrup has great hold but is too heavy and sticky to use except for up-doo’s. Cool whip has weightless hold.
I almost spit coffee on my monitor!
Perhaps you should try a crew cut…toothpaste and syrup are much easier to see in very short hair…or so I hear…
Love it! Too funny.
