My son (almost age 9) has been letting his hair grow out a bit. He wants a ponytail. He is now putting it up with a rubber band; the fact that the "ponytail" is currently about 1.5" in length does not deter him.

Apparently one of his buddies told him that it makes him look "tough" and that "most guys aren't manly enough to wear a ponytail."

That is really funny!

My nephew has long hair. Almost always has. For a year or two, he kind of had a mullet. I had to pull my brother aside and ask him about it. My nephew was going for the look from Star Wars (Annaken had a little rats tail). Somehow a little rats tail ended up looking more like a mullet on my nephew. He now has longer hair than me, and his latest photo (age 14) he almost looks like a girl because he has long dark brown hair and snow white still have my baby fat skin. He's going to hate these photos when he's older.

My son really hasn't said his first word. He says dadadada to many things, not just to Dada. And last night he was playing with the soap dish during his bath and saying mamamamama. Not exactly what I had hoped he say mama too. lol At least he hasn't called the ladies at daycare mama, as I've seen one boy do. Hopefully he'll call me mama soon.
