It's amazing how a buzz cut can make my child appear about a year older! Today was the dreaded haircut day. I bought these amazing kid clippers that I would recommend to any Mom that cuts her kid's hair. I wish I would have had them from the beginning! Connor is terrified of clippers (since they're so noisy), so was already scarred by the use of them when he was younger. Even though my new WONDERFUL clippers are so quiet & kid friendly, he still associates them with the old HORRIBLE ones. My poor little boy :(. So after a traumatic haircut session, Connor was happy as a clam again! His newest trick: sliding off the sofa. It all began last week when Connor watched a few little girls at McDonald's use the kiddie slide all by themselves. He caught on quickly & became a pro at it. Ever since, my child that once, could careless about slides, has fallen in love with them! He uses our slide on the back yard, slides at McDonald's, and any lounger sofa! It keeps him busy and content, so its wonderful...until he starts to be "all boy" and opts to slide down head first. He likes to give Mommy a heart attack when I walk into the room to see him hanging upside down from the couch. Lots of praising with cheering & applause has worked wonders in teaching him how to slide down on his "hiney" instead of on his "noggin". Here are a few pictures of my big boy using his sliding skills & his oh-so-excited facial expressions after you cheer for him!

We then headed out to do some early birthday shopping for Connor. This is probably the last year we can take Connor birthday & Christmas shopping with us, as he'll start to notice all the gifts we're buying for him! The bonus of shopping with a child is that they let you know if they like a toy or not, so its easy to know what to buy!
After much time spent shopping (with a busy busy busy toddler), we headed over t0 McD's for some yogurt parfaits & playground time!
