We went to Kids Kuts and it was awesome there. While we waited Aidan played with a few toys and seemed interested in what was going on in those fancy, schmancy chairs they had. I don't even think I can call them chairs. It's more like those playground animals that were atop large springs and you sat on them and they wiggled all around. You know what I mean? There was also a Barbie car and a Lightning McQueen car. Aidan got to sit in the red car. He was so excited but refused to let that past his serious face at first. He sat right down and held onto the wheel. He even pushed a few sound buttons. He didn't mind at all when the stylist put the cape on him or sprayed and combed his hair. He even watched a little of Horton Hears a Who. (where can i sign up for a salon like this? except i want a massage chair instead of a car to sit in, and maybe an episode of grey's anatomy to watch) He was SO good! I didn't really know what to tell her when she asked how we wanted it cut other than not too short, but a good trim, maybe about two inches. Sean wasn't sure either and since he never gets a hair cut he doesn't question he was even more nervous for Aidan. We both love his curls oh so much, but knew that it was time for a cut. She cut most of them off, but there's still a little bit in the back. We'll really be able to tell once he gets a bath and the hair is wet. She did a great job though and he sat still the entire time. He was so good, but would you expect anything different from him? (just kidding)
When he was just about done Steph came waltzing through the door. She was in the shopping center and saw our car and then saw Sean through the window. It was nice of her to drop in to make sure we were all surviving the cut.
After receiving his certificate and locks of hair, Aidan got a sticker...one of his favorite things right now. We headed out the door with our stylish little boy. I can't believe his little baby hairs are all gone. The hair he was born with is no longer attached. So sad. It was tough but had to be done.
We decided to head to Ikea in South Philly after we were done to check out a bookcase we found online that may have worked for the living room. We had never eaten there but figured we'd at least get Aidan something. Once we were in the restaurant we figured we'd go ahead and eat too since it looked pretty good. It's cafeteria style but the food was much better than that. For around $14 Sean, Aidan and I got fried chicken and mashed potatoes, pasta with meatballs, and french fries, mac n cheese, and yogurt. You can't even get McDonald's for that cheap! It was yummy too.
We walked around Ikea for a bit and Aidan LOVED it. I'm sure he thought it was great that he was actually allowed to touch everything. He had a good time in the kids section but an even better time when he discovered a little hideaway spot that had a ball pit. He kept running around the aisles not wanting to hold Sean's hand, but as soon as he saw that ball pit he pulled Sean's hand and looked at him almost to ask "Daddy, can we go play?" So cute. He certainly had a lot of fun in there. He fell asleep within minutes of getting in the car after all that playing and running around. It ended up not being a successful trip since the shelf wasn't as white as we'd hoped, but we all had a great time together.
My thoughts on life right now:
1st haircut. wow.
Aidan is growing up so fast, sometimes I wish he had a pause button but every day I love seeing how much he's grown and learned.Check out the pictures from tonight...I didn't edit them, so forgive me for the red eyes and lack of editing! http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2048417
