A haircut and some reptiles

It was actually the beginning of LAST week (or was it even the week before... oh boy... time keeps on zipping by) that we decided to give Cosette her first haircut.  She had this looooong piece of hair that she has had since birth, which I was quite attached to since she had lost all of her hair EXCEPT for this long piece.

But... it was getting a little too long.

It was starting to look a bit like a rat tail and a tangled mess after her naps.

And she has begun to grow lots of other hair so I didn't really need it to cover her little bald head.

So.. We snipped it.



I wish I had an "after" picture.
Its not really fair to you guys that I don't have one, but here is how it all went down.

It was bedtime and I gave her a bath. It was at this point that we made the decision to just give it a little snip.

Except it didn't quite work out that way... I mean.. it wasn't exactly a quick little snip because Cosette really wanted to see what we were doing.. which involves her looking up for the scissers then behind her and around... ugh.. baby... STAY STILL.

So, by the time Lance took the first open opportunity to cut it while I had her distracted for - literally - a split second... we were all tired - especially Cosette.

We put her to bed and never got around to getting an "after" picture. (i mean who thinks to take a picture of the back of a babies head anyway).

Here is an after picture of all of her cuteness though :-)

Gosh, she is even cute with spinach all over her face while chewing on a cucumber. 

I can't resist all that cuteness...

.... and on to other not so cute things. 

Ok, i guess its a matter of opinion as to whether reptiles are cute - so I'll keep my opinion to myself.

But there is no doubt that that little boy holding him has got some cuteness. :-D

So, we went to the KC Reptile show last weekend and it was, well, all you could imagine from a reptile show, I suppose.

Javan had a great time holding snakes

And then getting painted like a reptile

tricky... are his eyes opened or closed... hmmm...

Yikes! Boy he does scary well!

Ah Cosette save me from all that slimy, scary, boyness going on...
She's so sweet.. **melt**

Javan loved these bearded dragon's.

I happened to know that they are bearded dragons because I said to Javan "Come over here and check out these Lizards" and he said "They aren't Lizards, mom.. they are dragons.."
The person behind the counter smiled and nodded.
Man, that boy is smart. He soaks stuff up like a sponge.

For the record. A bearded dragon IS a type of lizard.

So there, very smart little 6 year old. 

oh gosh. This thing crawled right up his arm.
I would not have been able to handle it!
