First Haircuts
The first haircuts were not as easy as I thought they would be. Why would I think for a second that a 2 year old and a 7 month would sit completely still so that I can take some nice sharp scissors and cut their hair? Rachel did fine she just wanted to see what I was doing so every time I tried to cut she would turn her head to look. I mean EVERY single time. It was frustrating, but it's funny too... now. Then Luke just doesn't hold still for anything ever. He's the most wiggly active curious little man. He wanted to see what I was doing too. He turned his head almost all the way around backwards. Then when we tried to hold his head still he screamed, of course. Babies do NOT like to be held still ever. But we finally got Rachel's trimmed just a little so her ends would be healthy and continue to grow. As for Luke, he no longer has a mullet. He also doesn't have hair in his eyes. He had some long hair. It did not fall out like Rachel's did as a baby.
Facing forward so nicely, but only for this one second.
Turning to see me cutting her hair. She really wanted to see.
David wanted to cut too.
The Mullet: Before
The cutting of the mullet.
David wanted to cut too.
The Mullet: After
WAHHHH! YOU CUT MY MULLET!
It was awesome. Better than Billy Ray Cyrus.
Consignment Deals
Temple Baptist Church had a kid's consignment sale this past weekend. Because David works there we were able to go on Friday night and take a look around. We found two things we were looking for that were great. We got a train table set with the track, trains, people, buildings, scenery, etc. Rachel LOVES it! She kept saying, "I love my new train table." "Let's go play with my new train table." Luke wants to play with the trains too, but he's more like Godzilla of the tiny train town. We also got an umbrella stroller that I wanted from Babie's R Us. At the store it was 34.99 plus tax, but at the consignment sale it was $8. I don't think it was ever used. We got a few other little toys that Rachel picked out. It was fun.
New train table set complete with Thomas vinyl wall decals.
The Chiropractor
Luke has had trouble with reflux and excessive spitting up since birth. I kept hoping he would outgrow it, but at 7 months old we are covered in it all day and night. All our clothes are covered, the car is covered, and all the carpet in my house is covered. I had to buy a steam vacuum to clean my carpet from white crusty spots that have run together and become the carpet itself. This is no exaggeration and may in fact be an understatement. Now that he is starting solids it is getting even more yucky. It resembles throw up now sometimes rather than just spit up. I have become immune to the smell of spit up. I didn't even think of the chiropractor for some reason. Tiffany suggested it to me. We took Rachel for help with her colic. After his first visit he has only spit up a few times! We go again tomorrow. It was raining when we went so Rachel had on her Hello Kitty rain boots and her Hello Kitty raincoat and her Hello Kitty umbrella. She walked in and sat in the chair and I handed her a magazine from the table. She sat quietly thumbing through the magazine looking just like a midget adult reading. It was hilarious. I wish I had a picture. She looked up once to grin at the receptionist when she said hello. Then she looked back down and continued to "read" her magazine. When we went into the office for Luke's treatment she sat up in the chair and watched carefully. Luke laughed about what the doctor was doing and she said, "Luke thinks it's funny." Then we left the office and she held her umbrella up and as she walked out into the rain she said bye bye to everyone. She was my little adult 2 year old. Very funny.
