First Haircut

Gabby and I took Wyatt to get his first haircut on Friday. Gabby found the place, a little shop in Rockwall called Groovy Cuts for Kids, and it was so cute! The seats were actually cars, which was a lot of fun for W. They moved all around, had a gear shift, had a gas pedal, and right in front of your car was a television playing Barney. Jackpot!

Start your engines!


The lady who cut his hair was so quick! The times mom and I have tried to cut his hair ourselves, we've nearly cut the boy instead of the hair. Stressful! We weren't sure how it was going to all go down, but he was enchanted.


The trimmers were a little bit hairy (haha!). He didn't like those, so Gabby held him during that part. Check out this scowl!


All in all, he was a precious patron. He looks like a little boy now (sigh. next thing I know, he'll be going off to college...). Groovy Cuts for Kids was also nice enough to give Wyatt a certificate documenting his first hair cut, save his locks for me, and take a before and after picture. Very fun!

Enjoying some frozen yogurt after his hair cut! Big boy!

Christmas at the Gaylord


Aunt Sue and Gabby accompanied us today on a Christmas adventure. We went over to Grapevine to see the Gaylord all done up in it's Christmas frippery. There were tons of trees, dancing snowmen, toy soldiers, fountains, and trains. Wyatt was on sensory overload as we toured through the huge hotel!


Looking at the koi.

Watching the trains. Choo-Choo!!!

Refueling with raisins.


For lunch, we ended up at the Bass Pro Shop - which, I know, sounds kind of atypical for us. But that place is amazing. You can have your photo with Santa, ride the reindeer carousel, watch fish, pose with bears, bison, and bobcats! It is quite a place.

Driving a remote controlled truck. I see one of these in our future. Look at those little fingers on the controls! Such a boy.


Posing with a polar bear. What big teeth you have...

Aunt Sue proctored the meeting with Santa...it was going well at first.

But then things with Santa didn't quite work out.

Goofing around with Aunt Sue after lunch


Needless to say, old boy passed out pretty quickly tonight from his huge day of Christmas fun!
