Historic Day
First haircut
Before After
Well, today was an historic day! My hair has been growing ever since I was born, except for a couple of times when grandma cut my bangs. Mommy has always loved my long hair so I didn't like to complain but lately when people have asked -- if mommy wasn't there -- I started to admit that I wouldn't mind shorter hair. Then one day mommy was nearby and daddy asked me the same thing: "Would you like to have your haircut, Dash?" I demurred a bit then looked at mommy and said, "Is it okay to say yes, mommy?" And when she said yes, the truth came out! So I guess in the end, she loves me more than my long hair.
Today was the big day and we went to a special hair cutting place for kids. Mommy recorded the historic event for posterity. Afterwards I got a lollipop in my favourite colour - green - and told daddy I wasn't traumatized to lose all my hair.
In other news, daddy has built a new pond in the garden, and we added three fishes named Swimmer, Kleenex-Blower, and Chopping-Down-Leaves. (Why yes, I did name them myself, why do you ask?) Speaking of swimming, the drains in our house recently stopped running properly. For some reason, mommy and daddy asked me if I'd put anything in the toilet.
"Just my penguin," I told them.
They got all excited. "You put a penguin in the toilet?!"
It made sense to me so I kindly explained it to them. "Well, I had to see if they could swim."
"Did you put more than one??"
"Yes."
"How many?"
"Um ... four?"
So then lots of plums came to visit (what's that, mommy? oh, sorry - plumBERs) and now everything is fine again.
Even more exciting, though, was a couple of weeks ago when Uncle Ian and cousins William and Matthew stayed with us for a few days. We had a great time playing outside in the last of the snow and the first of the spring, and watching movies on the computer together. Can't wait to see them all again this summer!
Right now I'm having a playdate with my friends Antonia and Felix. Now that it's warm again, we're back to the park almost every day, and making lots of plans to visit cousins and friends in many cities. Hope we'll be able to see you all soon. Oh and ... happy mother's day to all the moms and quasi-moms out there!
