Lex got his first haircut tonight. His
\n little tail in the back was getting out of control. Not in
\n length so much as in rattiness. It was constantly tangled and
\n sticking out at odd angles — so we chopped it. Lex sat on
\n Alan’s lap and read a book (The Great Cookie Thief — his
\n favorite) while I gave him just a little snoop. I tried first
\n with the clippers, but he wanted no part of that, so I used
\n scissors instead and he was fine. He shooed at me a few times
\n because my efforts were interfering with his storytime, but
\n otherwise he was great. I tried to leave as much of the curlies
\n as possible without the mess. We’ll see how I did in the
\n morning. :)<\/p>\n
On another note, I’m growing
\n a gymnast inside me. This little one is constantly on the go.
\n Lex has started sleeping later (6:00 or 6:30am), but still
\n frequently makes noise around 5:30am. This usually wakes me up
\n and then I can’t fall back to sleep because the little one
\n inside is bouncing all around. Silly babies! <\/p>\n
Holiday preparations are underway. I got tired of
\n unpacking, so I moved on to decorating instead. This weekend we
\n are going to attempt a Christmas tree. Will be our first (not
\n counting the fake, table-top one Alan’s parents gave us a few
\n years ago). I’m sure it will be quite the experience. And, of
\n course, I’m so excited! :) In the meantime I’ve been slowly but
\n surely putting out the decorations we have and teaching poor
\n Lex that they almost all are for looking, not touching. He has
\n been perfect so far, but I think the tree will overwhelm him
\n with temptation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
