A little stubborn

It's Labor Day, a holiday, but Wade had to go in to work for a couple of hours to catch up from last week. So here I am at home and this is what I am dealing with-Today I am calling him the gum-monster because all he wants to do is chew gum. One tiny piece will keep him quiet for about 3 minutes and then he wants more-

"More gum?
More gum.
Mama.
Down there.
Gigi purse.
More gum.
More gum.
Bandpa, more gum?
Down there.
Pees more gum.
PEES.
Banpa? PEES...ggguuummm"

And he is no fool. He knows where it is, how much is left, and who to beg (Gigi and Grandpa are his primary targets). Honestly, I had no idea that less-than-two-year-olds chewed gum but apparently they do. Henry can keep one piece of gum in his mouth for hours. Today he chewed one tiny piece for at least an hour and a half before pulling it out and trying to wipe it on his shirt and then deciding that he actually still wanted to chew it so he stuck what he could back in his mouth and then had to try to deal with the strings of gum attached to his shirt still. It was a near gum catastrophe. No gum in the hair though...yet.

And speaking of hair, Henry got his first hair cut today. Our main goal was to make it so that when he has hat hair he doesn't look like he has a mullet :) His stylist, Mama, was impressed with how still he sat and his willingness to help. He grabbed the scissors or comb whenever they were available. I have a feeling that we will someday be posting photos of Henry after he gives himself a sneak trim. But for now his hair is just a wee-bit shorter, you probably wouldn't even have noticed if I hadn't mention it.
