Week 15 – Time for a Trim

Little Dude's 1st Trim

Little Dude's 1st Trim

Some babies don’t have hair by week 15.  Little Dude, time for the first haircut.

Little Dude popped out with a full head of hair.  Which is a bit startling considering the Dude’s dome is hairless.

I was begging Mrs. Dude on day one to let me shave a legit mohawk.  How outrageous would a one week old with a mohawak be?!  Grandmas would be fainting.  Hilarious.

Unfortunately, Mrs. Dude wasn’t having it. 

But, Mother Nature was on the Dude’s side.  Over the course of the first 15 weeks, Little Dude’s gorgeous coif was slowly reduced to old man hair.

Last night, Mrs. Dude said she was ready for the trim, and the rest is history…

Daily Pixels: Street Cred

Mrs. Dude is coming around.  She hasn’t embraced the captain’s hat yet, but she’s starting to dig the minivan. 

However, she felt the yacht needed a bit more street cred.  So she made a small addition to the tailgate.  Naturally I’m referring to a small machine gun sticker.  (I have no idea where she finds things like this.) 

Now when minivan haters pull up behind us and see the captain’s hat in the rear view mirror and the machine gun, they’ll know they are dealing with some hardcore minivaners. 

Boom.  Instant street cred.

It’s official.  We are a minivan family.  And I love it.

We took our first road trip in the family truckster last weekend.  12 hours in two days.  And they were the most comfortable 12 hours of driving we’ve had as a family.  Plenty of room for our luggage, and everyone had their own seat.  We even had the front seat empty, and we fit some hand-me-downs for Little Dude and a ladder on the way back.  Yes, a ladder.  With room to spare.

I got a captain’s hat for Mrs. Dude to wear when captaining the champagne yacht.  But she’s not a fan just yet.  I suspect it will grow on her.  For now, I’ll wear it when I’m at the helm.
