Today, at 2 years 8 months old (32 months), I took Anastasia to get her first haircut. Her hair is curly except for one long piece in the back, so I was hoping to get the hair to look all one length. I think the hair stylist did a good job.
Awaiting the haircut (not wanting to look at the camera)
The first snip:
The confused look (no tears though)
All styled up:
She even got to pick out glitter for a little tattoo on her cheek:
The befores and afters:
Anastasia did a great job. She enjoyed watching the TV as her hair was being cut and only looked it the mirror a few times with the look "What is she doing to me?"
On Tuesday Anastasia and I had a MOPS field trip to Dewberry Farm.
We were there for about 2 1/2 hours and only did about 1/4 of the things we could do. Although I heard it is CRAZY on the weekends I would like to bring Elyse here. Maybe next year.
"Hay" ride to the pumpkin patch
Each kid got to get a tiny pumpkin for free.
Next Anastasia went on a cow train ride
It took us mom's by surprise when the tractor took our kids way far away. I'm glad none of them were crying. If they were, we didn't hear them ;)
Anastasia and I then went on this slide. She could have done this all day.
Dewberry Farm had a barn full up lit-up pumpkins all carve very intricately. From Disney characters to football teams, to famous people and animals. It was pretty cool and very dark. I almost lost Anastasia a few times.
While at the farm we also fed goats, visited animals and had a picnic. At the end of our time at the farm we stopped by the little playground and had some fun.
Our dear Anastasia Joy is two! Since we just moved, we had a small celebration with the family.
We began a couple of days ago trying to get her to eat peanut butter, but each time she saw it her response was "no, no, no, no!"
Yesterday I saw some peanut butter chips and thought we could ease her into peanut butter.
The chips are good:
No, No, NO, NOOO!
We then put a chip on the peanut butter and she ate some off the spoon, we then just gave her peanut butter and she finally liked it. As for peanut butter sandwiches, she still won't eat them.
This morning we began the birthday celebration with balloons and presents
First present... "BABY!"
Second present... "BABY!" accessories
Anastasia then opened up the present Elyse picked out for her: little princess figures. Elyse has played with these more today than Anastasia
Next Anastasia opened Grandma and Grandpa's present to her... "DORA" tent and tunnel
After presents we baked a cake to enjoy after lunch.
Time to sing (in 2 languages)
At the end of the day we wanted to take Anastasia to a place were she would eat the food (she is being pretty picky) and when we asked her what she wanted to eat she said "MILK," so we went to Los Cucos and got her some milk
Elyse came home from school one day and said one of her friends was old enough to paint her nails ALL BY HERSELF! My response- You can paint your own nails if you want to. She did :)
She picked out her colors and went to town. She wanted some help getting the polish of of her skin, but she did everything else on her own.
While Elyse was painting her nails Anastasia kept grabbing an extra nail polish bottle so I decided to paint her nails too. I do have to say it looked a little too "grown up" on Anastasia, but it was fun and she actually sat still long enough to have it done and dry!
