Week of 8.16.10

You can get a good look at the hair cut I gave James (my 1st attempt at cutting hair) -- we had to do some trimming up in the bath tub, but it was just as good as his first cut that we paid for! He took his first bath in the big bath w/o the toddler tub -- he is still hesitant about it but getting used to having all that space to move around and play with toys :-) Jamie S. had Thursday off and her, my neighbor Rachel and I went out to the Huntley Outlet mall to spend money before school started up again -- only bought James fall clothes and socks, but it was more about the time to catch up with the girls.
Above :: James was super excited to see Jamie and he showed her how to play with all of his different toys on the porch (it was super hot that day, so inside with the A/C was necessary).
Below :: James loves to take my keys at school and tell me "on on on" when we get to the car -- below, he is starting his coupe :-)

James loves to come in the office with me and take books off my shelf to read -- today it was the "Everything Exercise" book, the other day it was "Boxing for Women." He also read "Color for your Home," "Baby Signing for Dummies" and "Heart Health" -- he's well-rounded.

Below :: what happens when your child has adapted the sign for "please" to be patting both hands on the chest and he wanted "more paint please" at school for their project -- good thing this stuff comes out easily (and he's polite, ha)!
