Howdy and haircut



Well, after a long break, here I am blogging again. I will start with the immediate, and probably go a acouple of retro blogs to fill you in on recent developments.
The first photo is David helping me with the washing up. He is washing a sweet potato. There are many uses for his chairs, all good. We are really happy that we got the strong ones, that are good for standing (whether it is me or David).


Last Thursday, David had his first haircut. We had been talking about it for a while, and David was changable as to whether he wanted it or not. David has been saying hello to Tom on the Saturday walks since he was only a few months old. That's where dad gets his haircut. An example of the varying attitude - coming home from daycare, in terrible traffic at 6.00pm at night, he wanted a haircut - cried for it for over five minutes. When dad took him for a walk right to the barber shop, and he could see Tom, he didn't want a haircut. Generally, the further he was from Tom's, the more he wanted it.


However, dad & I arranged to meet at the barber's on Thursday at just past lunchtime. After a complete little meltdown, because I couldn't get David to go downstairs, we eventually got out of the house. It was nice and quiet and Tom and Lily talked David through it. Lily cut his hair, and he had a lollypop afterwards. It is a good cut, and he looks quite grown up after it. No more baby fluff. As you can see, we did it near the window, not in the barber chair. Lovely.
We kept some hair for the nannas!
