1st Hair Cut!

Bubeaner spent most of the day with the guys (Dad and his Godfather, uncle Jeff).  The first order of business was Bubeaner's first hair cut.  He technically did not yet need one.  His hair is thickening but it's still not very long at all.  But the back was just a little (tiny little bit) long.  Dad and uncle Jeff took him to Bruce, Dad's long time barber.  Girls were not allowed.  Dad explained there were some things that guys did on their own.

Bubeaner did was very brave and did not cry or move even though Bruce used the clippers for some parts.  Bruce was very good with him too.  We are thrilled that it was a good experience for Bubeaner.  Bruce was thrilled to be cutting the hair of the third generation of H-Boys.  It was a sad reminder that Grandpa John was no longer with us and made it bittersweet.  Sadly, we don't have any pictures of the actual haircut.  The camera was "resting" at home.

Afterwards the guys headed off to enjoy some good pizza and guy talk.  Bubeaner really enjoyed the pizza.  What's not to like of bread and cheese?  Afterwards, the headed to one of Dad and uncle Jeff's old hang out during our single/childless days to enjoy a good pint of beer.  Bubeaner enjoyed hanging out on the patio flirting with the wait staff.  Of course he also made a move for one of the beers.  After all, he's one of the guys.

Bubeaner will have to wait a few (preferably 20) years
before trying this out

During this time, Momma was auditing a parenting class on Becoming a Love and Logic Parent presented by some friends/former co-workers.  They had great tips and tools.  It was all common sense things that we just had not thought about.  We will be implementing some of those tools pretty soon with Bubeaner.  And hopefully sometime after Bubita is born and Momma can attend some training, she will be helping them out teaching some of the classes.

Bubeaner had a very early night due to a lack of afternoon nap and a day full of exciting new adventures.  This worked out well for Momma.   During the afternoon, Momma experienced some cramps and had to rest for most of the afternoon making sure to drink plenty of drinks.

I"ve heard awesome things about Love and Logic, and it's on my list of books to read.
And, my boys are horrible still to this day about getting their hair cut.
