Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
If it's not hard to take care of, Aimee, I'd keep it. I suspect it's an old wives' tale that is still in circulation.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
If I directed Christmas Carol, there would be camels.sorry dear, we are in California. No smoking inside. Plus there are lots of kiddies in the show. It would stunt their growth. Then we'd have to cut them so they could grow better and faster and fuller.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
If Em's hair looks funny and uneven, a cut might make it look better, less patchy. Otherwise, as long as it isn't getting over tanglely or too much to care for, I'd let it grow.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
A couple of co-workers have told me that hispanic women will shave their newborn's head around 3 months to make the hair grown evenly
DH's Chinese co-worker did the exact same thing.
Common with Filipinos too.
As Robin notes, it's a myth.
However, with young children the baby fine hair grows out and is at the ends, and the stronger, thicker hair is closer to the scalp. So cutting off the fine ends, or even shaving it, means the new growth is often thicker hair than they had originally. It doesn't make it thicker. You're just getting rid of the earlier, fine hair. The thicker hair comes in naturally behind.

I have never cut the back of her hair. She has bangs now, but the length of her hair is still the first growth.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Vibing for GC, GF and GF's dad.
Got back a little while ago from my first post-baby ice-skating session, which was not so much skating as laboriously creeping about as I was taking my 4-year-old goddaughter skating for the first time. Over the course of about an hour and a half we did three laps: the first hugging the wall while I supported her from behind; the second holding my hands while I skated beside her or backwards in front of her, tugging her along; the third away from the wall with me supporting her from behind so she could feel her way out on the ice with back-up but with nobody leading her.
She was sweet and plucky and fell three times without tears or complaint, and the only fussiness came at the very end when she had to be coaxed and cozened out of her skates because she so much wanted to rush right out again.
Her dad sat with Matilda (she has won for herself another devoted champion; he couldn't stop exclaiming over her prettiness and mellow alertness) and watched from the sidelines, and Emmett skated many, many laps, still a bit bow-ankled but very fast and agile.
So now we're home, Matilda is fed, and before the end of the day I'll take and post a proper picture of Bev's dress.
