Today was a fun-filled day of errands! One of those errands was getting Seth's hair cut. Lately he's been sticking with a do that is short over the ears and in the back, but long on top. Today, the hairstylist was feeling a little bored, so she made the long part on a top a purple spiked mohawk! Don't worry Grammy and Nana! It's just purple gel :) I'm not sure it's exactly what Seth expected. He looked a little scared when he left the chair. Within 15 minutes of being home the gel was gone, but there is now a pink tinge to his hair where it was. I'm sure Dad will be thrilled!! If you're wondering why the mohawk is purple, it's because he told the stylist that was his favorite color. In the car he told me his two favorite colors are purple and hot pink...should I be worried?? I think it's just that the new styles coming out are retro 80s with all the neon colors. I remember Anna going through a "black" stage when she was in fourth grade (same age Seth is now). She refused to wear pink and dressed like a boy. She had Tony Hawk skater shoes and could always be seen with her black Jack Skellington sweatshirt on. She scoffed at all the girls who wore pink. Hannah Montana was on the top of her hate list. Maybe age 9-10 is the beginning of the experimenting stage where kids realize that they can be someone different just by changing their clothes or hair. Anna has since left the "black" stage and adores pink again. I guess I just need to wait patiently for Seth to leave the "pink" stage and find black again :)
