The AFTER pictures...

After Asher was in the pool, I decided that he needed a haircut BADLY!! (actually I had known for WEEKS that he needed one, but just didn't have the time!) So, I decided spur of the moment to take him over to a children's hair salon that several friends had GREAT experiences with their kids at. And when I got there, I found out they were closed...for GOOD! Oh, boy, now what was I going to do?! So, I decided, "here goes nothing!" and I sat him in his booster seat and put his favorite video on (which was only 30 minutes long so I had to work quickly!), gave him a PILE of Goldfish crackers and went to work. I really didn't have any idea what I was doing and as I got partway into the haircut, it really LOOKED like I had no idea what I was doing. But, the more I cut, the more I seemed to get the hang of it, and in the end I was really PROUD of the outcome! I thought I did a darn good job! :-) Yay! I was so scared that I was gonna have a very funny looking little boy when I was done. But what a relief that I didn't! So, here are the pictures I took immediately afterwards. Asher did surprisingly well! The only thing he had trouble with was when the scissors got close to his ears. He didn't like the sound of them. (and now it's actually time to do it all over again!)

In the pool...a little early

I know how much Asher loves being in water, so I waited as long as I could before putting him in the pool, but it really wasn't quite warm enough, yet...at least not at 5:45pm when the sun was already starting to go down. This was from April 29th and the air temp was pretty warm to just be sitting out in, but the water was cold, and the air just wasn't THAT warm. So, Asher ended up with chattering teeth at the end, but he sure loved his time while he was IN the pool! And as I was deciding what part of the video to post I realized that Asher is trying to spin that bowl IN THE POOL! :-) He sure is a crazy boy! And, yes, says "puppy" at the end. I don't think you can hear it in the video, but we heard a dog bark, and Asher used one of his very few words to identify it!! Go Asher! (oh, and by the way, this is the BEFORE picture of his haircut!)

The REAL beginning

These are the culprits that started the whole "spinning" thing. Every time we went over to Nana and Papa's house he would go straight to these wooden rings and drop them on the floor, I guess because he liked the sound of them. Then as they started spinning, he just kept doing that and the rest is history....

Crazy bed head hair!

I had to take a picture of this crazy hair! He was sweating during his nap and I guess he must have been sleeping on his head because he had this crazy hair going on when I got him up! And this is even a little more tame than when I saw him in his crib!

The beginning

This is Asher when he first started Tupperware spinning. I will post (hopefully soon) what it looks like these days! This video was taken on April 12th. It's amazing how much time he spends doing this. Paeter thinks that when Asher grows up he will be a plate spinner! :-)

Easter Pic

I know this is definitely late, but for those of you who didn't get to see this, it's Asher's Easter picture. Adorable, huh?! ;-)

oh boy

Wow, here it is, another month has gone by since I posted last. Where does the time go? Well, hopefully I'll get something up here again, soon! I do have pictures and video, but they're still on my camera. You can forget about me getting any blogging done during the week, and on Saturdays, too, for that matter, so that leaves me just with Sundays. And here it is Sunday evening again, and nothing to show you all. Please check back soon, and I will try my hardest to have something new for you to look at!! Thanks for hanging in there for me with my BUSY life! Love you all! :)
