The Easter Bunny got a haircut in the pool!

Last Friday Aiden started swimming lessons. As expected, he hated it. I think he was the only child who could talk and he was yelling, "Noooooo!" You know how the pool area echos? Now imagine me trying to blend in with all of the other moms who were with their happy 6-month old babies. Kinda hard to just blend in when you're in water. Nobody wanted to talk to us...not even the instructor! Aiden had a death-grip around my neck and his legs were wrapped around my waste. He warmed up when they started singing songs. I have to give him credit...he did stand out of the pool by himself and jumped in to me (with my help) and he did try the slide. I know it will get better. I couldn't believe these little babies who weren't holding on to mom and they were going underwater. The little babies don't have fear yet...just wait you mothers who were avoiding us! Your day will come!! All of the moms were showering their babies after class. Aiden and I got the heck out of there and took a bath when we got home. I even put my clothes on over my wet suit. Can you imagine what they all thought of us?

We had a family picture taken with the Easter Bunny on Tuesday. Not only was it Aiden's first picture with the bunny, but mine as well. As you know from previous blogs on the old site, I HATE things in costume. I took a deep breath and sat next to that creepy thing because Aiden wouldn't go by himself. Chalk one up for mom.

There wasn't a swimming class today because of Good Friday, so I thought we could torture Aiden another way...FIRST HAIRCUT!!! We found a place by Steve's office that is just for kids. It was a neat place. I think it's called Snip-It (in Brookfield). He didn't like it, but he did a good job. They blow bubbles and play movies when they're in the chair. We did the 1st haircut package, so we got his hair, a comb, a certificate, and he got his picture taken.

I'll post pics soon. Happy Easter!!
