Big fish in Chinatown

Big fish!

Walking around Chinatown checking out the fresh seafood.

Overdue haircut

The time has come. The hair has been cut. He was overdue.

To ease the "pain" of the haircut, my son was treated to chicken nuggets and french fries. Fair trade I think yes?

First question about brown faces

My son comes to me. Touches my face. This is black. Touches his face. What's this? Oh Shyt! Are we REALLY having THIS convo NOW?!

I look at him. Touch his face & say. This is brown. Touch my face & say. This is Black AND brown. He does the same. Says we're both brown

He seems happy to understand we're both brown. He's off to play with trains. I'm left wondering how to cope, prepare and educate.

I didn't expect my morning to start with that kind of conversation. My head and heart hurts. I'm going to find a dark corner for a few....

Big boy hair cut

Made a stop to get my son's hair cut.

He doesn't like haircuts, but he did fine. No crying. He's a big boy

Math with gummy bears

So my son is apparently ready to learn math. This morning he figured if I gave him 2 extra gummy bears (vitamins) then he's have 4.

Huh.

So what amazed me the most is not that he can count (add in this case) but that it always takes food to help males focus. LOL
