The nice lady was<br \/>\n    thrilled not to have to sit on the floor behind him again<br \/>\n    :)<\/p>\n<p>A few days ago we were talking about<br \/>\n    how his hair is getting pretty long. I asked if he wanted long<br \/>\n    hair or if he wanted to get it cut. He chose cut. By a<br \/>\n    professional (not by me!). By Kristie at Vivo (that&#8217;s who did<br \/>\n    his hair before). So I called an made an appointment. All week<br \/>\n    he has been asking to go play at the toy store, so I decided to<br \/>\n    see if we could combine the trips. Actually, earlier in the<br \/>\n    week he was looking at the calendar and decided that on Friday<br \/>\n    we would play at the toy store and on Saturday we would get his<br \/>\n    hair cut. He was even going to write it on the calendar, but<br \/>\n    decided not to at the last minute. Anyway, Kristie wasn&#8217;t<br \/>\n    available on Saturday, so I made the appointment for today and<br \/>\n    told Lex that if he sat in the big chair and let her cut his<br \/>\n    hair with no fuss then we could go to the toy store. And boy<br \/>\n    did he ever!! He was excited to go, waited patiently for his<br \/>\n    turn, picked out a book to read and climbed right into the<br \/>\n    chair. He put his head up and down as she requested and even<br \/>\n    let her use the clippers!! All in an effort to earn a trip to<br \/>\n    the toy store, I think :) So off we went. They played for half<br \/>\n    an hour and as we were leaving Lex said, &#8220;Oh, wait, we need to<br \/>\n    buy something!&#8221; Shoot!! So close!! I guess he&#8217;s figured out the<br \/>\n    point of a toy store after all. It was bound to happen someday.<br \/>\n    I told him that since he did such a great job with his haircut<br \/>\n    and played so well at the store and was listening to me so<br \/>\n    sweetly that I would buy him one small toy. He chose another<br \/>\n    Lego playset and was thrilled to make the &#8220;emergency<br \/>\n    helicopter&#8221; with Alan at lunchtime.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align:\n    center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_6038-727361.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_6038-727354.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-style:\n    italic;\">The long, curly locks.<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto\n    10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_6041-727400.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_6041-727388.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-style:\n    italic;\">Sitting in the big chair!<\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin: 0px auto\n    10px; text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_6044-727423.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_6044-727417.JPG\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a> <\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; font-style: italic;\">A clean new<br \/>\n    haircut.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lex likes to take things slowly, in steps, which allows for lots of &#8220;firsts&#8221; :) Today he had his first professional haircut in the big chair!
