1st Visit to a Hair Salon

Owen got his hair cut today at SassyCuts. He was GREAT! I had brought a bag full of treats (bribes) just in case he didn't like it, but he was soooooo good! He sat on my lap and the lady shaved and cut his hair. He looks so handsome and grown up now! I think he may have been showing off for the little girl (11 months old) who was in the chair beside us with her Mom.

If anyone in the Chilliwack area is looking for a good, cheap, quick place to get their little guy's hair cut, I reccomend SassyCuts in the Salish Plaza. It was $10, 10 minutes, and Yvonne was GREAT!

Finger Painting

This is Owen's first attempt at finger painting. Thanks again to Mandy and Keira for giving this kit to owen for his birthday!

Ice Skating

Owen and I, and a few other Play Group Moms and kids, went ice skating today at Twin Rinks in Sardis. Owen had a great time! I bought him a new helmet, knee pads, and elbow pads so he would be safe (and he can use them when he starts really riding his bike later this year). Neither of us wore skates, but we still liked being on the ice! Owen played hockey, pushed the little bar things that keep you upright, and went in a wagon with his buddies. He really enjoyed himself!

Funny day

I bought Owen a bunch of toys, clothes, and books today in the states. The gift I gave him tonight was a Thomas the Train tent. This is to replace the cardboard castle that we threw out today (hopefully he won’t notice that). I just asked Owen if he liked his tent (which he hasn’t gotten out of since I assembled it over 30 minutes ago) and he said "Yeah, it’s beautiful, I love the tent!" Now he is saying over and over "Mama, I love the tent! I love the tent!" And now he is saying "I love you Mama! I love you Mama!" I think he likes the tent.

Gabe and I also took Owen to the bowling alley tonight for a Bowling for Big Brothers event. I was afraid it would be too loud there, as it was last year, but Owen absolutely loved it! He would have bowled all night if we let him. He got 15 points (in 5 pin blowing) in 4 turns! And he was thrilled with himself. They even gave him a stuffed animal puppy just for being so cute!
