The Stay at Home Mom Chronicles :: Griffin's Grooming Kit

My days around here seem to run together.

Ordinary moments unfold around me daily

and I need to stop and relish in them.

One day, my boys will be out living life

and I will miss these everyday experiences.

So, I am taking the time to document

the simple moments that pass between us.

I'm calling this little collection of memories...

Griffin's Grooming Kit

My mom recently bought Griffin

his very first grooming kit

and it's been a huge deal over here.

Each morning, Griffin takes a moment to

spray on his Batman Citrus Scented Body Spray.

I had to teach him to spray it and walk through it

because he was applying about 20 sprays in one sitting.

We had a little talk about there being a fine line

between smelling fresh and smelling stinky from over-application.

 He's also very proud of his Citrus Scented Hair Gel.

Before school, he puts a glob of gel in his hand

and smacks it onto the front of his hair.

He then grabs his Batman comb and 

runs it through the gel, creating one smoothed down

and crusty spot on his head.

He refuses to use our trusty "No tears baby shampoo"

and has to wash his hair with his citrus scented shampoo.

It's so cute to see his little hair product

lined up in the shower next to mine.

My little guy is growing up, just a bit.

I know I'll always treasure the memory

of my almost 9-year-old boy's first grooming kit.
