I'm A Big Kid Now!

Last week was an emotional week for this mommy as my little boy took 2 big steps from being a baby to being a big boy.

First was at Sandy's where he slept on a mat in the playroom with the big kids for nap time. Sandy said he laid right down, went to slept without any trouble and stayed on his mat until she told them it was time to get up even though he has already woken up. He had been in the other room by himself in the pack n play so this is a big deal. AND he did this without sleep dog and his paci! When I got the text message from Sandy I was excited that he did so well but then noticed I had tears running down my face at the thought of how big he has gotten. And then she send me a picture which sent me over the edge:

And then to make things more emotional for mommy, we visited the Barber Shop for the first time. The night before Matt cut off a curl for me to keep and then we headed downtown to Steve's Barber Shop for his first haircut. I will say, Marion did an excellent job, giving him his iPhone to watch Bugs Bunny and giving mommy a certificate and envelope of curls. Plus since it was his first, they didn't charge us. Made it a great experience.

Not happy about being in the chair!

Still not happy!

Bugs Bunny and sleep dog to the rescue!

Doing much better now and almost done!
