MARCH CUTS (PART 1)

The Hair Bear is now sporting a crew cut.

I still marvel at the fact that Laz no longer cries his head off when he gets his hair cut!  And this haircut is major because - unloike our 1st tear-free trip to the barbero -  this time Mang Jeff used a razor.   Laz flinched, there was some whining, but none of the hysterics that we've come to expect (and dread!) from his haircuts when he was younger!  Hurray for you, Laz, you big boy, you!!!  (I am due for a trim this month as well.  Have been OBSESSING about my hair care products recently.  Bordering on fanatic.   Kadiri).

*Haircut in The Block with Luli tagging along for moral support.   Switched days with in laws on account of road trip tomorrow! 03.03.2012

LAZ AND THE TELEFONO

03 March 2012

 It has been months!   

Despite Husband's silent protests - I insisted.   I was going through telefono withdrawal.  I missed it terribly.   My excuse is Laz.  He actually really likes the penne al telefono in Cibo.  (He is MY kid, through and through. La dee da).  Shopped for beach gear for Laz (while Papu was at the office, heehee).   I am extremely happy to report that Speedo finally has aqua socks again!  (In Kidsports!).  Yipeee!  I couldn't find any aqua socks in Laz's size for the longest time - not in Manila, not in the States, blah blah blah.   Summer na talaga!   No more swimming diapers for Laz either - he has graduated to Big Boy Board Shorts!  On account of being  *almost* potty-trained!  (I shall post pictures next time).

The boy was actually bugging me for a haircut.   (That has NEVER happened in our household.  It's a Miracle.  Azzz eeeeeen).   We promised him a toy if he agreed to get his haircut; he's usually trying to weasel his way out of getting his hair cut - the fiend!  But alas for Laz, there was no kiddie parlor in Shang.   The haircut would have to wait until this afternoon when we head over to my in laws!

After a morning of shopping, the Boss settled down with pizza, pasta, and his new books while we waited for Papu.

Pleased with the grub.

High Point of the Month: Started pinning this month, haha, such fun.  Our Clark Valentine's getaway was a much needed (and thoroughly enjoyed) break for Pao and I.
Low Point of the Month: I found February tough.  Laz got sick this month  - plus, his gag reflex acted up.  Accounting forgot to deduct my parking fees, arrgh.  Mavs lost in NY to Linsanity, double arrrrgh.  Yaya Sali just up and left! Results of the 2011 bar exams brought good news and bad news.
