I have really been neglecting my blog as far as personal posts go and well I decided that starting right now I’m going to post every day until Christmas. Not too much, just a few pictures each day to show you how we’re celebrating here at our house. An added bonus is I’ll get in a little practice with my new camera 🙂
This year is extra exciting for me because Vincent is now almost 3 (in April) and he can really understand a lot more in regards to the holidays. We talked about Santa for almost a month now in preparation for the big day. Vincent now tells anyone who will listen “Santa Claus bring me presents. Be bad boy, Santa Claus bring me rock!”. He follows it with hysterical laughter. I know you’re probably like “what the heck is this woman telling her child”. Well, what 2 yr old knows what coal is in this day and age? lol and apparently getting a rock from Santa is not that bad, at least judging from Vincent’s behavior. Lately he’s been using reverse psychology on ME. “I no want presents. I want rock. I want be real bad boy” but.. that’s a story for another day (because I could go on and on about the terrible 2’s).
So, in order to get ready to see Santa, Vincent got his first haircut at a salon!! (I’ve been cutting it myself up to this point). I wanted her to take a little off. Somehow he ended up with a super short cut. Oh well, his 1/2 hour in that chair was the longest he’s sat still since he was 9 months old and first learned how to walk! I was so proud of him. He told me he wants to go back and do it again lol.
Check him out. My baby is a big boy now. He looks so grown up with his short hair.
When we got home I tried desperately to take a couple pics of the boys in front of the tree but Vincent wasn’t having it. Poor baby who’s molars I thought were finished coming in long ago now has a toothache that’s driving him crazy. It turns out they are only about half way in and that a teething toddler is a heck of a lot more vocal than a teething baby!
They were good sports though and even though it had been a super long day I was able to get a couple shots of my 2 sweet boys before bedtime.
Thanks to my babies Christmas-time is now officially my favorite time of year!
