Living with the parents they have has really rubbed off on the Things. They're both pretty independent and willing to try to do things for themselves. Unless its inconvenient, or they've been told to do it, of course. This week, Thing 2 demonstrated his self-reliance in the age-old way that children over the world have done.
Wednesday after school, Thing 2 came out to the patio (after what had been a longish quiet interval...) to very proudly and excitedly announce that he had cut! his! own! hair!!! I tried to stifle a guffaw: he had suddenly acquired a light-bulb shaped head. Sigh. So I gave him a buzz cut. Now it's a collaborative haircut. There are still spots where he got really close to his scalp though. I'm hoping they'll be less noticeable in time for his violin recital. Kids.
