Haircut

Yes, it is time for the two year-old in our house to get a haircut! His 3rd that I have done, I might add. His hair has started growing so fast and of course it is hard for a mother to cut her little boy's curls (even in the dry Colorado weather, it was still curling up) ...but we approached desperate times, and finally it needed to be done. For starters, here is what Timo had been looking like with his long locks.

On Sunday afternoon, first we sat Jim down for a haircut while Timo was watching. We kept smiling and exclaiming happily, until Timo began chiming in, "Timo turn! Timo turn!" His cute happy voice sounded like an exact echo of Gemma's, and we recalled how she would say, "Gemma turn!" at this age, too, whenever she wanted to go down the slide or throw the ball or stir the batter.

We couldn't get him in the chair fast enough. During the haircut, Jim sat in front of Timo and read a book with him. That kept Timo very happy and still.
 

Finished! Hurray for Timo!

And let me just mention - if we weren't just renting this house we would definitely re-do the kitchen, starting with the cabinets!!!!
