Cold as ICE

Brody and I enjoyed ice skating with friends from his preschool. Today's destination was the local ice rink. I was a little nervous, not sure how he would do with the cold(hey, we are from sunny California) and on ice skates. He instantly put me at ease...kind of. He was all over the place. Once he figured out the bucket crutch, he was off and skating. He even mastered it without the bucket...just ended up on his backside a little more often. I loved being able to spend some one on one time with him and that smile made the cold temps totally worth it.

First Haircut

Right before she made the first cut.


During the haircut-all the toys in that store could not keep him still.

After she was all done-he looks like such a big boy!

We FINALLY did it! We went & got Brody's first haircut! Just in the last couple of weeks, people have been asking "what is "her" name"? or "how old is "SHE"? when referring to Brody. It still baffles my mind. He does not own any clothes that are even close to borderline GIRLIE. We narrowed the comments down to the hair. It was getting long in the back & it even had a slight curl. Brody did really well (for the most part), he was a little squirmy for the first part of the haircut. The girl who cut his hair was so patient & sweet with him. I took him to a place that is just for little ones. It has a circus theme. There were lots of things to look at & lots of toys to play with. By the time it was all said & done, the haircut cost me $30.00 (the haircut, little 1st haircut folder, before & after pictures, locks of his hair for the scrapbook, & the tip) & we had only been there for 20 minutes tops! We keep looking at him & commenting that he looks like such a big boy now.
