Helping Dad, The Zoo & Haircut

I observed the "Michael helping Daddy" last night. I think Michael was a little distracted by the camera, he likes to come as close as he can to the camera which makes it difficult for me to take pictures. So I had to sort of hide to take pictures.

"I've got my shovel and my rake Daddy, now what do you want me to do?"

"That looks fun, can I play in the dirt too?"

"This thing is funny, it makes me laugh!"

"Mommy, look at this pokey thing. Isn't it cool? Daddy lets me play with it while he's not watching. Don't you think he's a good Daddy??"

"Um, Daddy ... I think you're doing something you haven't shown me before. Are you sure you want to do that? Shouldn't you let me help you?"

"Wait! Where you goin'? Take me with you!"

"Really Mommy, I'm not the one pulling leaves off the plant and eating them. There must be someone else who comes into the garden at night and does that. I was just inspecting the leaves for you!"

"How does this thing work again?"


"Ahhh, my very own hole to dig!"

Here we are at the zoo today with the frog he likes to play on ... it took him a while to warm up to just wandering by himself. There was another kid there and he was entertained by just watching him.

"Mommmmmmeeeeeeee, I NEED my shuck shuck (pacifier). Can I pleeeeeease have it? Mommmeeeeee? I'm going to diiiiiiiie if I don't get it right now. Mommmmeeeeee?"

Michael's Second 1st Haircut! This time I broke down and paid the outrageous amount and had a "professional" cut his hair. I told them it was his first haircut so we'd get the picture taken and a little frame for it ... it was his first professional haircut! He looks like such a big boy now! I guess it's time to have another baby so Michael can grow up. (for those Aunts and Grandmas, etc out there ... NO we're not pregnant ... don't read into that little comment!) That's about all I have to share tonight. We're headed up to the campground this weekend, so I'm sure I'll have more stories to share. Hopefully it won't be "falling out of the trailer" stories!!!
