X-Man's First Haircut

We have trimmed his hair on our own before, but this was his first real haircut. It was amazing how he transformed into a little boy right before our eyes; his baby look went away. He was a really good boy and sat in the chair without any fuss; it was a enjoyable time for all of us.

Xander and Nitening (Lightning McQueen)

Cars is one of Daddy's favorite movies, so as you can imagine, it's one of Xander's favorite things as well. He doesn't watch any TV or movies (well, he watches some, but very, very little. Which we just allowed him to start doing in the last few months). He loves Lightning and Mator and when he got to meet them face-to-face he was ecstatic.

I'm amazed we got him to hold still long enough to snap this pic.
He was having a great time yelling to everyone. He was so thrilled at all of this that a number of people stopped to see what he was so excited about. He kept hollering at them to look at Lightning.

He was in paradise. Before he left he had to make sure he blew kisses to them both.

Brownie Batter Mmmmmmmmmmmm........

The other night Xander was helping make brownies. When Mommy wasn't looking, Daddy slipped him the spatula so he could lick the batter off it. Xander doesn't eat candy or sweets at all, so the occasional treat like this is usually met with not only happiness, but a look of question too.

When the batter hit his lips and tongue he looked at me with that puzzled look of, "why haven't I ever had this before? Why are you guys holding out on me?"

Anyway...he love it. It's fun to watch him discover new things; especially the new things that he enjoys.
