You Should See the Other Guy...
As the mother of four very active kids I am very used to the bumps, bruises, scrapes, and falls that come along with childhood. I am calm and collected when someone needs a little ice, band aid, stitches or a cast. If you follow this blog, you know my kids do goofy things like swallow coins or put beans in their ears, but I pride myself on my ability to handle all the "emergencies" that come along with having kids. In fact, I do really well when we have to rush to the emergency room for an allergic reaction, even while on vacation in Boston.
However, there is one thing as a mother I don't handle terribly well. There is one injury that makes my heart skip a beat and my head spin.
My beautiful Darling Daughter, with the smile that lights up a room, fell at drama camp this week.

Mom
A year or so ago I blogged about my daughter wanting to marry heart throb Justin Bieber, famous for his "bieberish" hair.
She adored this teen pop sensation which annoyed me so much.
Now I have him living with me!
The Justin Bieber “fringe” haircut is the hottest look right now for tween/teen boys. It is really all the rage and has completely taken on a life of its own. One of my twins, who is 10, wears his hair in this style every day. The look is cut shorter in the back and longer in the front, which is the exact opposite of popular cuts for boys in the past years. The cut is very top heavy with long layers. It’s called “The Flow” or “Twitch” (like you are twitching and flipping your hair out of your eyes) and has been described as “long bangs for boys.”
Frankly it just makes me twitch.
I find myself saying to him everyday, "get your hair out of your face, I want to see your eyes!"
It used to make me cringe when I would say something like that and the minute I said it I could hear my own mother's voice saying it a thousand times to me or my sisters growing up. Now I just chuckle.
Thanks Mom, I cherish your words and all the memories - and my kids will do the same someday.
