The Bench

Grandad's neighbors have a bench in front of their house.

Usually, when it is time to leave, you will ask to sit at the bench for a few minutes. If it is not too cold or we are not in a hurry, I usually let you do so. Sometimes we even come out a few minutes early while daddy's still visiting with Grandad, so that you can romp a little more.

However, when it is time to go, you will try to stall having to go get in the car and go home..

But you usually comply nicely, even if a little begrudgingly :)

And then after a few minutes, you happily go on to the next discovery or adventure :)

Little Toddler Milestones

When we were at the playground the last time, some of the things you did different:


1. You put your feet into the stirrups thingy and then did the push pull motions to get the little horse going. :)

2. You wanted to play with others - actually trying to get them to play with you - as opposed to playing alongside them.

The Mane Event

1. Hair Cut

I gave you a haircut a little over a week ago.

Used to be, when I wanted to trim your hair, you would get all up in arms and REFUSE to cooperate. The last time, I used my smartphone to bribe you. Yeah. This time around, I told myself I was NOT going to resort to that. So, one day while you were taking a bath, I just got the scissors out and told you that I was going to give you a trim.

Not only did you NOT grouse, gripe or whimper, each time I snipped, you would say, "Thank you, mummy"... !!

I seriously could not believe my ears.


2. Bed Hair

Even with bed hair, your hair is gorgeous.

I am SOOOOOOOOO envious :)
