This is for posterity and it's very important to me. I've been working on perfecting this technique for years, and I think in the last week I've hit upon perfection. Turns out it's a six-step process.
1. Get some Oreo's. Do not buy them from Costco, they do not soak up the milk as well.
2. Pour a glass of milk. Any percent milk will do. I drink skim, it makes me feel better about the fact that I'm about to slam a stack of cookies. The glass must be wide enough and the milk deep enough to completely submerge a full size Oreo.
3. Get a fork. "A fork?" you ask. Yes, trust me. You are going to gently spear the Oreo from the side. All four tines through the creamy center.
4. Dunk the Oreo completely in the milk. Note: no milk or crumbling cookie on your hands, due to fork.
5. Watch the milk carefully. Bubbles will come up from the location of the submerged Oreo. Do not get distracted by conversation or other things or you will miss the last bubble come up.
6. After the last bubble rises, remove the Oreo from the milk and it will be perfectly soaked to the point that if falls apart in your mouth. I prefer to put the whole thing in at once, but I have a big mouth.
At Wes' cousin's wedding this little toy was produced. His cousin's kid, Parker, has one at home and was proficient in pushing it around. So, I wanted to see if Dylan could do it because he's almost 14 months and will only take a few steps, usually when prodded.
Well, I'm a cheapskate and I don't like things cluttering up my house, so I don't buy Dylan toys often. But I've found something that works just as well, has multiple uses, folds up and stores in small spaces, and we already have it.
I'm really excited to do some awesome things on it in a couple months. Every year my family goes to the boat show, because boating is one of our favorite things to do. Dylan sat in 1/2 the boats and pretended to drive them. We have to start them young to raise them up right, you know. Anyway, I really think that I needed a more advanced board to pull of some harder stunts with more ease. So, for the entire length of the ExpoCenter I harassed Wes until he caved. Really, it's my birthday present...at the end of May. Isn't it going to be the best birthday ever?!?!!!
Thursday was our 7th Anniversary, so yeah! We got away for the night thanks to my parents and Jenny. Then went skiing the next day. Not the best day of skiing ever, it was snowing and cold, but it beats a day at work.
Not saying, "good job, I'm so proud of you for standing." Then Dylan was finished by the time I ran downstairs to grab the camera. Luckily, he obliged us with a few more tries before bed.
He may walk yet. Just hopefully not this weekend when we're out of town for our anniversary.
This is what I cut off.
And this is what I look like now.
I'll admit, I'm a little rusty on fixing short hair. It will take some getting used to, and I'm not feeling so feminine right now. My androgynous body with short hair makes it hard for ME to believe I'm a girl, chipped nail polish aside. I don't regret for a second that I cut it off. And the beauty of hair...it grows back.
Dylan got his 1st haircut today at Cookie Cutters. It's a magical place, regardless of the fact that he cried through the whole thing. 
Wes just got home and is apparently ticked that I paid money for it. He thinks he could do better. Anyway, it's done. It's no longer in his eyes, down his neck, or over his ears. But plan on it being more messy than this.
