Jacob is obsessed with having his hair combed. He loves that we keep Maddie's bright pink brush, spray bottle, elastic bands (pretties) and barrettes in a drawer he can reach. At random times he gets a glimmer in his eye and runs off in that hilarious one year old run and comes back with a pink brush and a blue comb. Then he wants you to brush his hair forward running the brush or even your hand over his scalp from back to front all the way down to his nose. It makes him so totally and completely happy.
Today I was brushing his hair at his specific request. He grabbed the brush and said, "Beh!!" I hollered to Ben that he was being requested in the hair shop. He giggled and came over so Jacob could comb his hair. It was cute to see the boys play together. Then Jacob stopped for a minute and started chewing on the blue comb. It didn't take long for the bristles to be filled with saliva. Ben looked and it and said, "Eww!! Gross. I don't want my hair combed anymore with slobber in it." He jumped up and headed back to play Legos at the party table. As he ran, he said, "Hey Maddie! It's your turn now. Jacob wants to do your hair."
She quickly abandoned her Legos. She came and got her hair slobber styled without ever knowing any better. And I just let it happen as I laughed.
