Haircut

Today marked Aiden turning 17 months, so what better to do than for Aiden to have his first haircut!!!! Bye bye baby curls. Hello handsome stud! He was amazing and didn't shed a tear or fuss. All the women were amazed. However, he did want to stand in the chair....so I had to hold him in position. Silly! After we headed over to see Gabby to show her the new duo and I kept trying to run my hand through his hair like I've always done and OH its all gone! He looks like a big boy now! :-( Makes me sad.

After Gabby's he was exhausted, so down for a nap. Then I headed over to Goodwill and found the gem. His new table for $2! AHH I've been looking for one ever since I decided to make him an activity wall. It's perfect!! All I have to do is clean the top, scrap the stickers, and spray paint the top bright blue. That's my project next weekend.

Well, I said I would accomplish the wall this weekend. And I did!!! Well, I still have to touch up the baseboard. Stupid drips! :-( The magnetic paint was the hardest to work with...or maybe I did it wrong but my walls aren't 100% smooth. At least it's in the corners. I LOVE the chalkboard paint, it's Schoolhouse Green. Reminds me of the kind we had growing up in elementary school. I only found the tintable paint at Home Depot. Lowe's only had black.

Once everything was setup, I let the little one loose and OMG. HE LOVES IT!!!!! He knew what to do right away and was having a ball trying to figure out how to put the magnets back on the wall. I'm on the hunt for some alphabet letters that he can't swallow. I saw a pattern how to make them out of felt, so I might try that. While, he was playing I left the room to do other things he followed me, next thing I knew he went back to his room just having a blast. I'm so glad!! I really wanted to give him a space to be creative since we don't have a playroom. I highly recommend everyone do it!

I hope everyone else had a great 4th of July weekend like me!! It's going to be tough going back to work tomorrow. Work hard for the $$ so Hard for the $$!
