bread awakenings

last night at about 1am owen started tossing and turning. he'd fall asleep for one minute and then wake up the next screaming. what tha?!? i got up with him, rocked him...nothing- same reaction. i gave him some ibuprofen- he still kept screaming. so after 30 minutes of this, i finally asked him "tienes hambre?" he immediately perked up and said his usual "uh?". daddy went and got him a piece of bread and he immediately giggled and flashed his toothy grin and just got dern giddy. perhaps it was because he so didnt appreciate my naturally nutritious meal of cheese, avocado and buttered sweet potatoes. hmmm...he's always liked these before. anyway, he didnt eat very much for dinner. he finished all but one little crust and settled down to give mommy and daddy a break. sheesh...kids are complicated.

hair cut

ok, so last night we finally chopped what was left of Owen's baby hair. a recent comment by a neighbor led to me thinking it was time. "what- you growin' that kid a mullet?" to be fair he only had long hair growing on the sides of his head - but at times- esp. when he got all little boy sweaty he would receive the nickname "crazy hair" from his ma & pa. adam didn't want me to cut it- in fact afterwards he told me it was almost as if we (i) had broken him. ah, daddy, let yer lil' one grow up. his teacher this morning mentioned he looked as if he had grown over the weekend.
