First Haircut

Most children have their first haircut during their first year of life. Not my kids. Kaitlyn just "achieved" that milestone this week. She never really needed one and when she finally did she didn't want one; was afraid and I didn't want to traumatize her too much. I took her with me about a year ago to see what it's like but she wasn't quite ready. We've talked about it the past month or so and she finally decided it would be OK. She was so excited and chatted with Debra the whole time. What a difference it made with her hair. But she didn't lose any of her curls. Guess they're not just baby curls. hehehe She ended up having about 2 inches cut off. I saved some for her baby book.





Here she is the next day at her school Christmas party. She is concentrating on putting beads on a pipe cleaner to make a candy cane. It always helps to stick out your tongue a little.

Christmas Program

Last Sunday night was our Christmas program at church. Before the "real" show began, the 3-5 yr. olds sang 2 songs. Here are my 2 children: One is singing her little heart out and the other is silently saying "you can make me stand here but I'm NOT going to sing!" Can you guess who is saying that??



I know what you're thinking John. She is not picking at her fingers!

The first thing Renee said to me when they were done was "I don't want to do that again." Really? I thought you liked it. At least she didn't scream or walk off the stage. Could have been worse!
