the best bedhead ever















Hi, I can't sleep although everyone else is. This is from yesterday morning- Nolan was in his babyjail while I got his breakfast, and I decided I had to document how crazy his hair is- although actually this isn't the maximum fuzzy pouffe that he can exhibit. Sometimes the back is all lovely curls, sometimes semi-felted fuzz, and sometimes a strangely backcombed looking, unreasonable mat. Evadnie (our nanny) is Jamaican and has an afro so I don't think she thinks of combing Nolan, so that's my job. I always worry it'll pull and hurt but he doesn't mind, he just always turns his head to see what I am doing, which makes things challenging. He looks quite blonde here but actually he can also look quite coppery. Nice hair.

Yesterday morning Nolan and I were hanging out on the bed and he crawled at high velocity right to the edge (I grabbed his ankles in case he felt like going farther- NO FEAR! the boy has NO FEAR!!!). He stopped though, and looked down (it's quite far to the floor), and looked at me, and said
"Uh oh"
which I found quite a reasonable statement. Then he said
"Utschkayatchka, djoov djoov djoov"
which I didn't understand, but I nodded anyway because he sounded so earnest about it. I think the Russian as a primary language classes must be finally paying off??? I tried running that through a translator program and it didn't recognize it either, actually.

Although I believe that he also has said "мама хорошего, утракак о завтраке" in the past.

"the mom of good, utrakak about the breakfast" is how Babel Fish interpreted that phrase.....
I may have to look for a different
translator!
Good bedhead, but I think William could win that contest if up to the task.
