Haircut

Bennett has lots of hair which seems to be coming in on the thicker side. Before Easter I took Bennett in to get his hair cut. I had to do this around Christmas time also. I tried to do it my own this time but he did NOT want me to - even with Mike trying to hold him he still wiggled too much and cried. So, I broke down and took him in again - she's so nice and didn't charge me the full price :-)

Here are before, during and after pictures of his 2nd official haircut.

Easter

Easter was a busy day. After church Bennett looked at his Easter basket - he got some sand toys for the new sand "box" (pool) that we got for him. Then he took a quick nap before we going over to my mom's for lunch. In his Easter basket at Grandma's house was some more sand toys. After that we headed to Watertown and stopped in to see Mike's relatives. From Great-Grandma Meme he got - yep, sand toys! He'll have tons of fun this summer! Then we went back to my mom's for a short bit before heading to Chanhassen for cousin Gabriel's 1st birthday party. Needless to say it didn't take Bennett long to fall asleep in the car on the way home last night. It was a great day with lots of fun with family and lots of great food!

Don't my boys look cute!

He found the M&M's in his Easter basket and likes that more the the sand truck!

This is what he looked like after his short nap before heading to my mom's.

Great-Grandma

As you probably all know, Bennett & I head over to Great-Grandma's every morning to check in on her, give her some company for a little bit each day and help her out if she needs something done. It also gives Bennett and I a break in the mornings to get out of our house. Bennett loves going over there. He has a few toys over there but one of his favorite things is Grandma's wheelchair. Before he got familiar with her house and started walking all over, he would just stand by her chair and push her around the kitchen. Now that he's more used to her and her house though, he doesn't do so much pushing anymore but he now wants rides. He'll stand on her foot rests and then (shaking my head & rolling my eyes as I type this) she tries to pick him up. He is obviously too heavy for her to pick up but she tries it every time anyways. I keep telling her that one of these days she's going to tip out of her chair! Anyways, here are some pictures of Bennett getting one of his daily rides with Great-Grandma. I also have had to start moving things up since he is getting in to more and more things over there - like I said, he's getting used to the house and is "exploring". Earlier this week he opened up the door to the Hutch and grabbed one of Grandma's fancy pepper shakers and ended up having a pretty big sneeze attack :-)
