Have you voted yet today? Carrie did! (The sticker you can’t read in the picture is one of those “I voted today” stickers. Silly overexposure issues!) She actually did help me vote, too: I brought her into the booth and she helped me pull the lever for the curtain back when we were done.
OK, so how bad is my hack job on her hair? I now know why it is that people go to school to cut hair: it’s really, really hard! Oh, well, at least it’s out of her eyes, and it’s only hair, so it will grow back – hopefully before Thanksgiving! I was thinking that since it had only been three weeks since her first haircut, there was no way I was going to bring her to the salon every three weeks, and how hard could it be to just trim her bangs? Yeah. Famous last words. Good thing she’s too young to be traumatized by it.
You know what’s really cute, that you would never think would be cute before becoming a mom? Being up at 5 AM trying to get your baby back to sleep, and having her point to one of her shoes on the floor and say “sh, sh, sh” over and over again. She definitely knows the word “shoe”, as well as “socks” – that one she says as almost a “ts” sound. I kind of thought that ‘s’ sounds came later, but Carrie seems to be really into them. Then again, she has a complete obsession with shoes and socks, which I’m sure is going to cost us a lot of money when she gets older.
