my first haircut

This morning, I got my hair cut. my first haircut ever. As you can see from the first photo, I desperately needed it but it was hard to decide to let go of my luscious glowing golden locks.

We did not tell anyone, other than Trinity, about the haircut plan. The barber even asked what does dad think of the first haircut. We sent my dad a text message minutes before we left the house to tell him. Apparently, dads frequently object to haircuts. My mom probably could have easily been talked out of doing this.

After much research, we had determined that Margo was the barber to visit. Not only does she have a shelf full of bulldozers and backhoes etc, but her salon is conveniently located next to a gelato shop. (Yes, she has a tv in the salon, as you will see in the background of the first photo but she did NOT turn it on while I was there.) We arrived early so I had time to play and get comfortable. Trinity came with us to help out if needed.

I fared much better than anyone expected. I climbed right up into the barber chair and sat so patiently. I was quite serious, but not at all unhappy, though. Margo worked her magic in mere minutes . . . much like Edward Scissorhands chopping up hedges. Then she presented me with a certificate and locks of my hair. Before I knew it, it was time for gelato.

Now I look a bit more like a redhead again. I love looking at myself in the mirror today.

veggies for breakfast

As proof that I am not all about cookies all the time, here is a recent photo of me shucking the corn that I ate for breakfast that morning.

You can see my dad's legs in the background as he gets ready for work instead of spending a leisurely morning of breakfast, soccer, and walking with us.

pumpkins

On Saturday morning after our delicious breakfast at the pastry shop (if you can call a cookie breakfast), we visited the pumpkin patch. I am quite fond of pastries on Saturday mornings and I love going to that pastry shop because they have a nice garden for walking around and around and around (and I never ever have to sit down). I didn't plan to eat a cookie for breakfast but I was the cutest boy there, as usual, so the baker offered me free goods so what was I to do? Saying no would have been rude!

As soon as I arrived at the pumpkin patch, I went directly to work helping the little girl unload the box of pumpkins. This was the outing of my dreams because the two things I love best right now are girls and working.

I picked out two lovely pumpkins and my dad and I carved them after my nap. I drew the picture on the big pumpkin and my dad tried his best to follow my directions.

Now I am all ready for Halloween.

exciting news

Today was my lucky day. We finally got to go to Verdes for dinner. I cannot tolerate going to restaurants because I do not like to sit. Verdes has a lovely large fenced-in back lawn that is nicely stocked with balls. It is the perfect place to take a boy like me. The problem is that it has been 100+ degrees for five months. This week it cooled off enough to finally go back to Verdes.

And we had to go to dinner tonight to celebrate my dad getting offered the job for which he shaved his beard off. Now he can grow the beard back and my life will be back to normal. Next time you see my dad, congratulate him.

Halloween Party III

On Saturday, I attended my third Waldorf Halloween party. I opted not to wear my costume. I only have interest in the saw and the hammer that came with it. Sometimes I will briefly wear my hardhat.

It was, without a doubt, the best Halloween party yet.

Shortly after we arrived, we went on the hayride (or the hay baler ride, as I call it). I kept everyone laughing for the duration of the ride.

At the party, I ate one piece of carrot cake and two apples. yum.

I spent much of the party enjoying the spectacle of the dunking booth. I also square danced with my dad and we ran about the farm.

In the first photo, you will see me in the barn jumping off a bale of hay. Nothing feels better than flying through the air.

In the second photo, you will see me visiting with a cute little girl. I am quite fond of girls these days (or grils, as I call them). The girls seem to like me too. The girls know I am quite sensitive and not just all about tractors and trucks. I can bake and cuddle with the best of them!

more luck on the potty

This evening before I got into the bath, I went potty on my toilet again! That is the second time in one day.

I went to the store today and bought two new packs of underwear. Sadly, they were sold out of the Thomas underwear in my size.

Wish me luck for tomorrow. I am going to bed without a diaper again so I need to wake up early to use my potty.

Guess who went pee in the toilet this morning?

This afternoon, I will be going shopping to buy more underwear.
