Jaxon had his 1st haircut two weeks ago friday. I put it off as long as I could. Everywhere we went he was being mistaken for a girl, so I decided it was time to get it cut. All the way to Auburn, I changed my mind back and forth weather to cut it. He sat in my lap and did really good. I brought the DVD player and he watched a movie while she cut away. He watched Susan like a hawk when she brought out the electric trimmers. I was so impressed, I figured this was going to be a bigger deal. He does still have some curl left and I was able to get a few curls for his baby book. Now if his 1st dentist appointment goes this good at the end of the month. Somehow I highly doubt it. Jason volunteered to go back with him, until I told him only 1 parent can go back at a time and he said "oh well I'll just watch through the glass then"
We also had family pictures taken the next Saturday morning and 7am. Jaxon and I are not morning people but they still went really well. I had never been up to the governors mansion, its really pretty on the hill. I didn't realize there are such nice walking and bike trails. Anyway we used a tree line and some hay bales for background. We had them taken for the March of Dimes Signature Chef's auction. They use them for programs and flyer's. If I like them enough we will order some for ourselves.
A little short story about our adventure, the photographer had one of those little rubber balls with the rubber strings hanging off it to entertain kids. Jaxon has played with these before and even got a large one for his birthday that he plays with. Well I guess it was to early in the morning or something, when he went to touch it he started gagging. I was like well that isn't going to work. You just have to laugh. Poor boy, his sensory issues get the better of him. However, even though he's uncomfortable with certain things his curiosity keeps him coming back for more. I took him to the Discovery Center near gage park, and he stuck his hand in a tub of beads and I looked over and sure enough he was gagging. I grabbed him up quick so he wouldn't puke where all the other kids were playing. It's all about textures and smells. He also gagged on the smell of fresh tomato's when I was working them up to make salsa. We spend and hour in therapy every week working on these things and do things at home to help him get past some of it. His speech therapist said she had heard about such things but didn't really grasp the reality until she saw it actually happening to a kid who didn't do well with wet things.
