Not Me Monday

I was totally going to post this week's NMM last Monday, but unfortunately I decided to take a very long pity trip that day, and nothing got done. Usually, blogging is great for pity trips, but I didn't even have the creative ability to write, that's how amazing my trip was. The only thing I did have the ability to do was to not stuff delicious, large, double chocolate chip cookies into my mouth, one after another.

So here is my NMM... a week late, but amazing nonetheless!

Regularly, my son is mistaken for a girl. Very regularly. Even though I dress him in the most masculine of clothes (plaid shorts, blue shoes, brown/green shirts), people still say "Oh, she's so sweet!". Sometimes The Child notices, and retorts, and other days... he could careless. I've just come to the conclusion that majority of people are either just ignorant, or blinded by the stunning cuteness of my son, therefore they don't think before they speak. I'm hoping its the latter.

The main ingredient to his mistaken gender would be his beautiful, long, curly hair. I have cut it many times, but I don't have the heart to chop it. It has become his 'signature look'... and I love it. All this to say, that I would never, no not ever, take advantage of the fact that he has long hair to fulfill my hairdressing girly dreams. I would not spend a half-hour with The Child in the bathroom after his bath, convincing him of all the fun things we could do to his hair. Of course, I would never actually do said things, nor would I ever take pictures.

Nope, not me!

Nope, those are definitely not pig-tails in my sons hair.

At this point, he did not exclaim "I'm a dirrrrl!!!"

(aka 'girl' when all all your 'g's sound like 'd's)

He seems pretty pleased with himself, doesn't he?!

Ps. Did you notice the new "Not Me Monday" Logo?

Pretty cool beans if I do say so myself.

I am not the maker of such brilliance, but rather a copy & paster (imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!).
