Week 2

I'm happy to report that the first week of my mustache growing has been a smashing success! I've received compliments, awestruck gazes... a few jealous glares as well if I'm not mistaken... it's been a good week for me and the 'stache.

You'll notice in this close-up (sorry for the blurriness... it was late and Anna was a bit hasty with the photography as I was delaying bedtime) that the mustache is coming in very nicely. I'm still unsure as to how I feel about the way it grows upwards towards my nose... I mean, what do I do with that? Let it fill out? Shave that part? Maybe I'll google 'mustache etiquette' and see what I find.

Proud of my progress:

I'm finding myself spending a great deal more time deep in thought and stroking my mustache these days:

Wolfgang's a fan too! (If he looks pissed off in this picture, that's because he is. I woke him from his pre-bedtime nap to take this promotional photo and he was not understanding. I had to remind Mr. Wolfgang that "it's for the children" and we can't let sleeping stand in the way of our goal.)

On the subject of Wolfgang, guess who got groomed this week! Anna loves the decorative bandannas they put on him, but they rarely last more than an hour or so before Wolfgang chews them off.

They cleaned up his beard nicely...

A funny story about Wolfgang: He has a mini tennis ball that he loves playing with; see if you can find it in the picture below:

Can you see it? He's pretty proud of it. Sometimes when we won't throw it for him, he takes to throwing it up in the air to himself. He's recently learned that he can push it off the 2nd level to the entry below and then run down to retrieve it. I've captured this activity in the below sequence of pictures:

Quite pleased with himself.

Check back next week for another update!
