Eddie's First Haircut

Eddie came home in a pair of LuAnne's old sunglasses.

Testing out a new toy that the Griffiths sent for Billy. It gets the "Big Brother Seal of Approval."

Eddie's new pet fishie, waiting for his new bowl to be set up. Eddie named his fishie "Blue." He stands on the chair to talk to Blue several times a day. "Hi fishie Blue! Feed the fishie?"

It's not all happy and harmonious.

Eddie and I had another Big Boy Day. We left Billy at LuAnne's and went to Hendersonville for pizza, the "Hands On" children's gallery, and Dancing Bear Toys.

You know it's been a good day when Eddie's asleep the instant his head touches the carseat.

Note Eddie's shadow in this picture. We have reached the point where he can climb up all the obstacles and even hold himself up with his arms on the monkey bars. That's good, because I'm still not very mobile with Billy strapped to my chest... though I can get around a lot better than I could 38 weeks pregnant. Now it's time to learn bigger lessons, like don't cut in line on the slide and don't throw dirt at other kids, no matter how much fun everyone seems to be having!

Eddie got his first haircut after watching his daddy get a cut. He was pretty doubtful at first, but was convinced that this would be okay when Ms. Angie gave him a sucker. What a big boy, and what a great haircut!

Since Eddie discovered how much fun it is to paint, I set up his new easel and got him some washable paints. He requires a whole lot of supervision not to dribble the paint, but he enjoys it so much.

We met Oaklynn and Maple at the playground for some fun playtime followed by Mexican food for lunch.
