First Haircuts!

My friend and co-worker, Kristine, cuts hair at a salon in the South End neighborhood of Boston. If you want a great haircut at an Aveda Salon, book with her at Moxie Star Salon! I am so lucky that she also does kids' hair and she even makes house calls. Silas and Zoe's hair has gotten quite long, so we finally decided to "book" their first hair cut. With the holidays coming up, we figured it was time...

Silas went first. We put him in his booster seat in front of Sesame Street cartoons playing on the computer. He did awesome!!!!


You can see how long his hair was in this picture, because the left half is cut but the right half isn't!!!


Awwww, Big Bird! This was their first Sesame Street viewing experience and it worked like a charm!


Here's the finished product (sorry, Kristine, that I didn't get a better picture!).


Zoe was next. We were a little worried about how she would do since she can be *a little* high maintenance sometimes, but she was sucked into the crack cartoons and also did great!



And the finished product for number two!


Zoe really took a liking to Kristine, and gave her multiple hugs and snuggles to say thank you!!!





Thank you so much, Kristine!!! We really appreciate it!!!!

Silas' Blog

Well it's been a busy 3 years since I last posted! Stay tuned as we may have more posts coming now that it looks like I have a new contributor... Silas recently read a book called "Starting Your Own Blog", and now he is bound and determined for us to let him start his own blog! We convinced him that he should start out by drafting content and a posting calendar. We made templates this morning and he wrote his first "post" today!

Parks

We decided to get Zoe's haircut on Saturday morning at a place geared towards kids called Snip-Its . Neither Derek nor I anticipated what a meltdown Zoe was going to have. The haircut is half-assed at best and Derek will have to fix it when she's more calm. We were so traumatized that we headed to the park to get the day going on a better foot! We went back to Larz Anderson, the park where the  Psychiatry picnic was held on Thursday . It is really close to our house and is lovely and shaded. I think it's one of my new favorite spots! The kids like it too :) S&Z love playing with wood chips, so there was a lot of that! Snacks were enjoyed on the bench and I tried to get a few pictures of the haircut... Excuse me, I'm chewing pretzels :) This morning we met up with Wendy, Dave, Sydney & Ivy at the Newton Center Playground. It was HOT HOT HOT, and there wasn't too much shade. The kids have inherited my low tolerance for heat, so they spe

Sickness Update

We saw the pediatrician again this morning - it was our 4th visit in as many weeks. Both kids have an antibiotic-resistant sinus infection. Zoe also still has an ear infection after 5 days of meds; thankfully Silas' double ear infection is finally gone after the 10-day round of amoxicillin. While in the waiting room, we noticed that a rash had appeared on Silas' arms and trunk. Since this coincided with being on meds, Dr. Rundquist had to assume it might have been related to the amoxicillin. Silas was going to get a non-amox antibiotic for the continued sinus infection, and because it's easier to have them on the same meds they were both prescribed Suprax. Silas' O2 saturation was also down a little and he was wheezing during the exam. Apparently he also has broncholitis and he'll be treated with albuterol. He was given a nebulizer treatment in the doctor's office that he tolerated amazingly well at the end of a very long doctor's visit (we were there for 2
