Mom Hair

I had a conversation with my mom last week about the reason she cut her hair short when she had kids.  I have never understood why so many moms cut their hair short when they have babies - really I figured it was to cut back on the time spent getting ready, which makes sense too.  However, since Cohen has discovered his hands, he loves to grab things.  DING DING DING!  You are correct - Mommy's hair.  Funny that as soon as it is in his grasp, his hands become iron fists and will not open, yanking my head down with it.  Then, it is a battle to keep it out of his mouth as I delicately pry each of his five fingers open to release the gob of hair.  All the while he is laughing and cooing because he just thinks it is a fun hangy toy.  Unfortunately he doesn't quite understand that my head is attatched to this toy.   But all of you moms out there, I now understand your theory behind short hair now.  However, I will not be cutting my hair anytime soon.  I will just suffer through Cohen's game...or wear a ponytail more often.
