Today was a pretty good day. I didn't have to be at church until 11am today, which gave me some time to rest a little bit. I woke up with a bad headache and was still really tired, so while the kids watched TV, I laid on the couch with them. It helped my headache out a lot. We went to church at 11am and after church decided to go get Daniel a haircut. Apparently, the majority of the post was doing that because it took over an hour to get into the barber. It was nuts.
Daniel was mad at me most of the morning because when I talked to him about getting his hair cut, he insisted on a Mohawk. Anyone who knows me knows that giving my kid a Mohawk was not my thing. So, while sitting there, I thought of a compromise. I had the barber cut his hair so it could be spiked. Then, when she started to style it, I asked if I could use the comb and do it. Then, I formed a fo-hawk (a fake Mohawk). Daniel looked at it and thought it was cool and it looked really cute on him. So, I let him keep it for the day. I kinda hope that tomorrow he will forget about it and won't make me do it again... though I am not holding out much hope.
The Mohawk was something that I realized was not something that I really wanted to fight over. I still stood my ground in that he didn't get it shaved that way, but he still got the look he wanted. I am able to control the look and if it is not "appropriate" (in my mind) for a Mohawk, then I can spike it or try and comb it down. So, it turns out that this is a pretty good compromise because I still get what I want, and he gets to try out new styles that aren't permanent. Success.
Another day down, another day closer to seeing my amazing husband again. Getting closer... One step at a time.
