First Haircut!

Last week, we took Kate for her very first haircut. All day Kate and I talked about how "exciting" it would be to get a haircut and how she might even get a very special treat if she behaved.

All day she replied, " I no want a haircut." She was adamant ...I think on the ride over to get her haircut, she repeated that sentence about a thousand times. This was sounding like the recipe for an absolute disaster....sharp scissors and a wayward toddler....NOT GOOD!

However, I didn't take into account how fun it would be to spin in "the special hair cutting chair." She hopped right up in the chair and after a few good spins and two M &Ms, she was ready for her haircut. And while she wasn't too sure when it came time to actually getting her haircut, she didn't move a muscle while it was being cut! So proud of Little Miss Kate!

A little unsure...but still as she could be!

Her plastic animals came along for the adventure...Studio RB never looked so good!;)

Success!

Down on the (plastic) Farm...

Kate has a new "love"....little plastic animals of every size, species, color and breed. She literally plays with them for hours on end and carries at least one or two of them everywhere we go (which means we are frantically looking for them/keeping up with them everywhere we go!). She cares for them like they are her babies, and she refers to them as her "friends."

And while it is very cute that she loves them so much, you do not want to walk in our house with bare feet anymore. My slippers are now my "friends," since you never know where and on which carpet Kate's "friends" will be hiding.

"I am just playing with all of my animals," is probably her most frequently used sentence. And she is not exaggerating!!

When I walked into our bedroom yesterday, I found this on our window ledge:

And her favorite outdoor buddy, is her beloved bird from her Nana.

Please note: this bird does not spend very much time outdoors. He prefers the good life indoors with his "friend" Kate.
