O.K. I have cut Jonah's hair about 3 times and each time I make a mess of his hair. I have cut it while he was in the tub and here was my method. Comb his hair sticking up all over and go around with the scissors, not a very effective method. So finally on Saturday I got brave enough for him to have a "real" haircut. Our friend Christy was cutting her Dad's hair across the street and so I had her come over to do Jacob and Jonah's hair. Jonah was a bit unsure about the whole thing, but as long as I was sitting right in front of him and holding on to him he was O.K. I had just given him a chocolate chip cookie and did I think to wipe his face off? No, of course not, that wouldn't be me to think like that. Once the cut was done I was so happy I had finally done it. He looks so cute. Apparantly Christy can do a much better job than me. Two comments from my young friends give me that clue. The first comment from many months ago when I had cut it myself and went a little too short in the front, "Don't ever cut his hair again" (Thanks Truman) and "No offense to you, but his hair looks so cute now that he has had a real haircut" (And thank you Angie)!
The next big first was that Jonah went to nursery at church for the first time!!!!!! I have been waiting for him to be 18 months adjusted age and for the winter RSV season to be over before sending him. So here I was determined to send him yesterday. He was crying at everyone who looked at him while I walked him over there, he wanted to play with the basketball hoop in the gym and that is why he was so mad. So I walked into the nursery, he saw the slide, said "wee", I put him down and off he went. And off I quickly went. Before he even knew what had happened he was in there and I was not! I peeked through the window a few times and he was happy as could be. Afterwards the leaders said he had a few rough moments, but did really good. I said to her "sorry I didn't have a chance to tell you that he is pretty much a baby and can't walk before I set him down and ran!" It all worked out and hopefully he will keep going and be happy!

WAY CUTE BOY Melanie. Truman can be kind of insensitive that way ya know...:)jk Truman!!
What a milestone for Jonah! Did you cry? I cried everytime I sent a child to Nursery for the first time. But then again, I'm a crier. I cried when Joshua got his first pair of shoes!!
PS-And I cried when Joshua and Luke got their first haircuts!!!
