Is it just me or does little boys hair seem to grow twice as fast everyone else's, especially little boys who are afraid of clippers? Today was hair cut day in my house! First I had to bribe Zach to sit in the chair- I gave him chocolate and promised him ice cream. Second was getting him to let me turn on clippers this required me to shave my arm to show him it didn't hurt (yes I have a bald spot on my arm now) Third I bribe again- this time it had to be something more elaborate, a toy of his choosing. And guess what my little angel chose... Thomas the train, which for those of you who aren't up to date on little boy toys they are about $20.00 for 1 engine that does nothing. So during the hair cut we talked about his thomas train the whole time to keep him focused. 



The end result... only having to spend 2 minutes styling his hair before we run out the door as opposed to 5 or 6ish.

"Zachy Tylr"

I have officially finished school (pat on the back) which mean I get to stay home with Zachary full time again. I missed being home with him and getting to see him play, learn and grow! Every day is different with him, it's like he is changing over night into this older version of my baby :o(.
Now with all that being said this past week was my first week being home full time. Zach was into everything! I went from mess to mess cleaning up after him it was a long week to say the least. By the end of the week Zach was no longer referring to him self as Zachy or even baby. If you ask my 2 year old he will tell you his name is Zachy Tylr. From this you can tell some one spent a lot of time in time out.
One great (and I mean GREAT) thing we gained from all this: Today Zach was playing with his trucks and cars but decided he wanted to play with his trains so he stopped and put all his trucks, cars, buses, planes and dinosaurs away (without me) then asked he to help him with his train set! Made all last week worth the battle!
