Barber Shop for Mr. Big Boy!

Today, instead of making the 20 min drive to gallatin to get your very long hair cut, i decided to try the barber in white house- literally a mile from our house! You have done better and better with each hair visit, that i thought you may do just fine in a real barber chair, and having someone cut your hair who specializes in boys/ mens cuts! You were so excited because you said you were going to a big boy hair place like daddy! and he used clippers on you for the first time which you also said was just like daddy :) This was the shortest i have ever taken your hair, but wanted something new and fresh, out of your eyes, and cool for summer! We happen to love it! You said you did too!

 But Firstly, let me note you have grown up so much in the last week that today just seemed to continue that- you didn't fuss getting in the car, or getting out, or getting your hair cut, or leaving and getting back in the car ( which is usually your big trigger). then me and grand mommy took you to mcdonalds to play in their play place (which you've never done before, you've been to chik fil-a's play place once but that was it). we also get you an ice cream cone every month on your birth day, the 25th, so we decided wed go ahead and get you your cone today since you did so amazing at the barber! Again, you didn't fuss when you had to stop play to sit down to eat, nor did you fuss when we told you it was time to leave. who is this child? and where did phoenix go?? You LOVED playing with the kids at the play place, a 4 year old little girl and an older boy both kept you very happy and showed you the way through the play place maze of slides and tunnels. When we got home you even asked if that boy was your brother :) Once home we went to your favorite spot in our neighborhood: the creek, where you love to throw rocks and enjoy the outdoors. I enjoy going and watching and throwing rocks in with you :)

Also this week you have fallen asleep randomly while playing iPad in my lap - which is unheard of because you have never been one to fall asleep anywhere except your bed! I relished in the snuggled and snapped some pics to remember the moment by. Today you managed to fall asleep again on my inside in the rocking chair : the true sign your baby is a toddler if you ask me.

Not so happy that i woke you up:

     "Im just laxin' in the bath like fishies"

This mornings before and after:
