Jason posted about his medium sized miracle. I have a small miracle of my own. I have shaved three days in a row.

I have told countless people that one of the main things that I like the most about my life is that I can wear the same clothes to work, to "church", and to play. Another benefit of my situation is that if I don't want to shave, I don't have to. I usually get around to it about once a week, sometimes I go longer than that. When I let it go for awhile, I get comments like, "You growing a beard?". To which my response is usually, "Uhh... No. I'm just lazy."

Recently, Palmer has become more aware of his surroundings. While I hold him, he whips his head back and forth checking out all that is going on around him. The kid is a "wiggle worm". Well, I have found that he is not a huge fan of whipping his head around and having his face rub against my scruff. It often results in a scream and me having to comfort him.

The way I see there are at least two solutions. One, I could grow my beard out to the point that it is softer. This is an option, but the last time I grew out my beard, it came in red. This is only a problem because the hair on my head is not red. I liked the beard, but not the difference in color. Maybe I could grow out the beard and shave my head or color the beard.

The second option is to stay clean shaven. This one is tough because it takes effort and I'm not really into that kind of stuff. But, I'm giving it a shot. I shaved with a razor two days ago and my plan is to maintain with my electric razor. I can run that over my face in about a minute and be good to go.

We'll see how long this lasts.
