Hair Gel

"What's this?" is a common phrase in our daily living now that we have Alex with us 24/7. The other morning while Randy was getting ready for the day he dabbed his dime size daily dot of gel on the top of his freshly washed hair. Alex, right on cue popped his head in the bathroom and managed a fast, "what's this?" "Hair gel," Randy replied walking out of the bathroom.

Hair gel apparently translates multiple languages because the next thing I new, Alex was pulling a hair dryer out of the drawer. This was the first instance I'd seen of anything resembling fashion or grooming awareness so my interest was immediately piqued. Poking my head around the corner I saw him seriously drying his hair. I watched while every so often he would pull a little piece of hair straight and then hit the dryer on button again. Pretty soon the front of his hair was 180 degrees from it's normal position.

He seemed pretty pleased with himself. I thought he looked awfully cute... but then mother's always think their sons are cute. In this case though, I'm sure (smile, grin, wink) that I'm right! Go Alex.
