I have dreaded this day for a long time. Makayla was born with an "old man" hair-do that transformed into a natural mullet, and it has taken her whole life to get her hair to finally grow out. I have only trimmed her hair a handful of times. We decided to grow out her bangs and she's been sporting a "bangtail" lately because the bangs are at the "annoying" stage. She hasn't been very excited about getting her hair done lately and I just let it go scraggly today. Well, when we weren't looking, she took scissors and cut her bangs. No, not all of them. Just a small handful. And she cut them SHORT! Little stinker. I don't know what to do to fix it. I found out she had done this when I walked into the kitchen and she ran over and put her foot down on something and looked up at me with a cheese-eating grin on her face. Busted. I lifted her foot and there on the floor was a lock of Kayla hair. Needless to say, the scissors have been put in a much higher location. Pictures will have to be posted later...
So much has happened this last week. Here's the low-down.
Nathan turned one! :) What a sweet boy. I can't beleive he's already one. We went to Red Robin for lunch on his birthday. The servers sang to him and I think he enjoyed it. He had his first cake that evening and Makayla helped him open his first present.
Last Tuesday Makayla started preschool. She loves it and we are really happy with the school. On Thursday, Makayla told me that she went to the bathroom to dump out the rest of her apple juice and a boy told her she was in the boy's bathroom. She told me that she replied, "I KNOW!!!" I asked her why she went into the boy's bathroom and she said she didn't know that it was. I asked her when she realized it was just for boys, she replied, "when he said I was." :)
Makayla started dance on Wednesday. I am so excited for her. Her class is small and the other students seem really nice. I think she's going to have a great year. The school is very strict, but, I think she'll learn a lot. She is so excited to be a ballerina.
Friday we went to Planet Kid with Keri, Trevor, Jen, & Grandma & Grandpa. It was really fun. I love going to those kinds of gyms. I wish I had one in my house. If I ever won the lottery I would. :)
Makayla, Graci, and Hannah all had a soccer game on Saturday. It is so fun to watch them play. I was so proud of Makayla. She played with confidence and wasn't intimidated by the other team. She enjoys playing and plays the entire game. She played well with the other kids and actually passed the ball this game. :) At half-time she sat down by one of her teammates that didn't want to play and said, "I need your help." It was so cute. Graci wasn't very interested in playing soccer Saturday. Once she decides that she wants to play, I know she is going to rip up the field. That girl is so tenacious. Makayla and Graci can be a great pair. Hannah played so well. I can't beleive how grown up she is.
Saturday evening we got together with our family and had a party for Nathan. He only had a ten minute nap that day because of the soccer games, but, he did really well for being so tired. He watched as Makayla opened his gifts for him, and devoured the frosting on his cake. After his bath, he crashed. It was so nice to have everyone over to help celebrate his birthday. Thanks, everyone, for coming and making it such a nice party. We are all so grateful that you were there. Thanks for all the gifts and the help.
