Sam's Haircut...

This isn't the first haircut Sam has gotten, but it is the first time I was there to witness. Before I would be too sad to actually watch the shears snip away at Sam's baby hair. Chang and I have a deal that no clippers will touch Sam's head. As I keep saying, I want to keep him my little baby as long as possible, and when his hair is shaved on the sides, he looks too grown up.

How many people does it take to cut one kid's hair? Answer: Three!

Looking at Daddy helps Sam keep his cool...

Ta-da! The finished product and his just reward.

Be My Little Baby

Sam is growing up way too quickly. As excited as I am to enter the next stage of my life once Sam goes to preschool, I don't want him to stop being a baby. He is really just so deliciously adorable. The day that I have to stop translating Sammynese will be a really sad day for me. In order to keep him younger, I have been encouraging little mispronunciations when he speaks. When the girls were younger and even now, I can't help but correct them.

"No sweetie, it is precipitation, not perspiration. You need to be a little more perspicacious about your diction. I don't care that you are only four or six. You should know better."

But with Sam, I purposely use his baby words because whenever he says something slightly (or even dramatically askew), it just tickles my heart.

My favorite is balloon-a-woona. A close second is wa-wa (for Big Bird). And last, but not least, is when he sings the Barney clean up song, he sings, "Clean bup, clean bup." And today, he called cantaloupes, bangoo drums (bangoo is fart in Korean). Love it!
