Haircut

It was finally time to get Zander's first hair cut. His curls were very cute and we held onto them for as long as we could. With the change in the weather and the introduction of hats again, his hair had been getting out of control....it was time. He was very nervous when we walked into the local kid cuts salon. By the time it was his turn to get in the chair, he had a meltdown. The cut was completed with Zander sitting in mom's lap. He screamed and fought it the best he could, but in the end the hair cut was completed (a little crooked in spots) and he looks like a very handsome, grown up little boy!

He survived and got a sucker as a reward (maybe to bribe him for the next  time!)

Halloween 2014

Happy Halloween! We celebrated the holiday with a festival in Roscoe Village (our old neighborhood) with friends as well as Zander's first time to go Trick or Treat (we only went for a little while due to coldy/windy/snowy weather, ) followed by handing out candy at our house (I think this is what Zander had the most fun doing). He dressed up as a monkey this year. We had a hard time deciding on a costume as most costumes require a hat and he has been rejecting hats for the most part, although on Halloween night he had no problem wearing the hat once he realized how cold it was and how much attention he got while wearing it!  He was a pretty cute little Monkey!

He was not happy about the monkey hat the first time!! (but loved the balloon)

Parker thought he would get away with not dressing up......haha!

Z with his pumpkins!

Daycare has been doing "pre-school" activities with the kids....he was very excited to show me this one!
