Hair Cut/Cards Game

What a busy day we have had. Max has been looking pretty shaggy lately. His hair is still pretty thin, but it was getting long! This morning Max had his first appointment with Great-Aunt Carmelina. Nonno even came up to watch. Max was excited to climb up in the big chair.

He was not as excited when Aunt Carm tried to put on the cape. He wanted nothing to do with it. So we compromised, he sat there showing his belly to the world while Aunt Carm cut his hair. We had to bribe him with a Tootsie pop to get him to sit still. He didn't eat it afterward, though. I don't think he even realized it was candy. But it did the trick and kept him occupied while Aunt Carm did her job. He did a pretty good job, all in all. The finished product was worth it. He really does look like my little 'man' now! No more mullet - yea!

This afternoon Max had another fun first. I had the opportunity to get free baseball tickets through work, so we took Max to the game. We got there just as things were beginning. Max had lots of fun people watching for the first 20 minutes or so, then it began to go down hill. We were able to keep him entertained until the beginning of the fourth inning. We then said good bye to my coworkers and headed over the family area. Max had more fun running around there than he did watching the game. No big surprise there. All in all it was great day for everyone!
