Tractor Ride!

(last video of the day, I swear!)

When Cal was born, a friend sent us a John Deer Tractor toy that we stored away in a closet.  It seemed like forever until he would be big enough to ride the thing.  Well, I pulled it out last night and we put it together (read: I asked Eddie ever so sweetly to take care of it!), and I literally cannot get Cal off of the thing.  He doesn't ride it the way he's supposed to though.  He stands on either side, holds on to the steering wheel and walks with it in between his legs. This is the first thing he goes for when we walk in the door and when he gets up from his nap.  I thought this was too funny:

STRONG MAN!!!!

Cal has started this new trick and we don't know what to think...but it cracks us up!!! This was after dinner the other night (pre-haircut!) and Eddie and I couldn't get enough!  He does this all the time now...

Happy Friday, Y'all!

First Hair Cut!

We were looong over due for a hair cut! Cal's hair has been so thin, we haven't given him one yet, but his curls in the back were looking more like a rat tail/mullet, so it was time to get a little trimming. (Not to mention a pilot on one of our flights on the way home asked us if our little girl was cold. HE was wearing navy blue pants and sneakers and a white shirt. seriously???) Eddie's mom made us promise to not cut his hair until after the trip because she wanted to see the curls one more time.

I made an appointment for noon and tried to take a few "before" shots.  We went to get in the car to go to the place and my car battery was dead :( .  We have a jumper here that you can hook up to the house, so I jumped my car and had to let it sit for a while to charge so I could make it to Autozone to get a new battery! While we were waiting, Cal took a digger and got a nice little mark on his forehead (what else is new?!).

Here are some BEFORE pictures:

sweet curls

Don't make me do this!!!!!!!! (see the baby bump?)

MESS!

We went to Peek-A-Do children's salon: it was AWESOME!  If you live in the area and are looking for a place to get your kids hair cut, this place was wonderful!  We had Donna and I can't say enough good things about her.  She was excellent with Cal.

Here are some pictures DURING:

Sitting in the car-- he held onto the wheel the entire time :) Here he is checking out Miss Donna-- she was talking to him the entire time- he loved it!  And how crazy is his hair in this picture?  A cut was LONG over due!

Ummm, Momma?  What are you doing to me??

Driving the car!!!

Each station had its own DVD player

looking a little nervous!

The finishing touches!  Cal decided he was done with the cape :)
And, a few AFTER shots once we got home...

he looks so old to me!

this was still in the chair

too busy playing to look at the camera

We saved some of the curls in a plastic baggie-- Eddie's grandmother has a collection of curls from her two boys and their kids, and now their grandkids too!  I am going to mail her a few locks (that sounds a little stalker-ish!).

And here is a video I took of Cal after his nap after getting his hair cut....
