a little off the top

last night we decided it was time to cut alex's hair. i really didn't want to because once they get their first hair cut they look so much older! but alex's had just gotten to be too long. so we went to snip its! today. he did great! at first he was overly fascinated with the lady's pink comb. this made it tough to do his cut because he kept trying to look at it. but, once she surrendered the comb and let him have it - everything went smooth. they got out some bubbles and put on a show with some fun songs to try to keep him occupied also. but, really the comb was all that he cared about. and when he was done he got a green top as a toy. another example of a simple thing that provides SO much delight. on the ride home he didn't care about the numerous SASSY toys that drew tried to show him. all he wanted was the little green top.

now on to the pictures ....
