Bunky's First Haircut... so to speak

There's something sweet and innocent (if at times very frustrating and time-consuming) about a young child who wants to be just like the big people around him and do everything himself. Bunky can unlock anything, memorize the names of five major bridges of NYC by photo, start the car, and dress himself (not to mention having his own sense of taste).

So it stands to reason that after Daddy attempted to cut his hair with the trimmer one day - to which Bunky, at the time, declined - that he would have the presence of mind upon seeing said trimmer one day while going potty to then unplug the electric toothbrush, plug in the trimmer, plug the other end into the trimmer itself, and then proceed to trim his own hair.

Yep. And this is how it came out. A partial reverse mohawk. And one very embarassed and mortified mother.

The really funny thing is - my boss's three-year-old did the same thing a month ago (except with scissors, I think) and she, too, was mortified!

Ah, our little man...

Happy Holidays!

Earlier in the month we went to the Disney Christmas Party which is a private evening in Disneyland. Bunky enjoyed all the rides you would expect and more. At 39-1/2 inches with his boots on, he was just shy of going on the fun ones. Since Toon Town was closed, and that roller coaster was the ONLY reason we went to the party, we had to find other entertainment. So Bunky went on Space Mountain (40" minimum) and Star Tours (40" minimum). He loved them both. I'm sure he would have gone on Space Mountain 500 times if we had not decided that would be the last ride of the night.

Later in the month, Grandma & Grandpa Harwood came to visit. They stayed with us through Boxing Day and cooked us lots of good food. They're fun to have around.

On Christmas Morning we opened presents. Bunky had so many presents that he eventually got distracted by what he'd opened and refused to open any more. However, I eventually got him to open them all.

As with everything in his life, he enjoyed trying to open things himself. "No, I do it!" His favorite puppy was from cousins Logan and Nathan.

Isabel's Bane, that's what I named this guitar. She gave it to him -

and she can listen to him rock out on it all day long ;) It comes with a microphone which he loves.

Another guitar from Grandma & Grandpa Moon - I like this one better because it plays real songs and has actual strings. He liked it too but I didn't get any photos yet.

All in all we had a fantastic Christmas. I wish we could have also shared some time with my parents but that's what life is like these days... they are even making movies about it now! :P

Happy holidays to all!
