The polls are officially closed, and the final tally is: Yay – 14, Nay – 13. Very close! A big “thank you” to all the voters. It was fun!

I must say, though, that I am reluctant to cut his beautiful, honey-colored tresses. (That reminds of the scene in the Anne of Green Gables movie where Anne asks Diana for “a lock of her glossy black tresses.” To which Diana replies, “But I don’t have any black dresses.” Ha! Funny! …You know, secretly, I’ve always wondered why the clever Anne Shirley ever bothered with that dim-witted Diana Berry. But that’s a whole other subject, maybe the topic of a future blog poll…just kidding!) So, although I still plan to cut Noah’s hair some, I won’t buzz it all off, like I’ve done in the past. My Mother arrives tomorrow (hooray!) and I’ll let her cut it into a cute little style!

And by the way, this is far from Noah’s first haircut. He was born with a very thick head of dark hair, that quickly grew down into his eyes. We buzzed it all off for the first time when he was just two months old! He’s since had three or four major haircuts. His hair grows like a weed, so don’t worry, even if I did shave it off, it would be back in a couple months!

I started my Christmas shopping today after I dropped Zeke off at preschool, and I’m proud to say that I think I’m almost done!  Not bad.  Noah was a little angel today at the mall…except when we walked by the Apple store.  Noah, like his big brother Zeke, loves apples.  So imagine his excitement when he saw a store with an apple logo on it!  (And I was impressed that he knew that the black and white logo was an apple…quite abstract for a 20 month old brain!)  “Apple!  Aaaapllle!” he hollered.  Thinking back, maybe I should have gone in to show him that it really wasn’t a store full of apples! 

Dave and I are currently having a debate about whether or not to cut Noah’s golden locks.  I say “Yay,” and he says “Nay.”  What do you say?  You can give your reason if you’d like, but a simple yay or nay would suffice.  And we’re really gonna do with his hair according to the poll (well, I mean for a while), so vote carefully!  You have until the weekend to vote, and then, chop, chop, chop!  (I hope!  He he.)

(Hey, all you “closet readers” – we know you’re out there – we want to hear from you too!)
