Spike

I've been wanting to put lots of little bits on here for weeks, and shouldn't think anything will get seen if it all goes on here in one go. So I just need to start, and then go to bed! Two weeks ago, I finally cut Peter's hair again. Michael was supposed to get his cut the same day too, but it just didn't work out and I haven't had the spare moment or energy since. Soon though, as the weather is just getting too hot.

Anyway, Peter has had his hair cut probably three times already, the first when he was very small because of all the lovely long locks he had catching in his clothes at the back and looking a little too like his sisters at the sides! The last two have been full hair cuts, and he's always been pretty easy to distract - sat on my lap and somebody else reading him book after book to keep him involved. Somehow that has just totally distracted him from what was going on above, behind and all around him, despite the fact that he would love to get his hands on a pair of scissors! This time he was not so easily distracted, It took three of us, but then I also forgot to sit him on my lap (which didn't do my back any favours either!) We got there though, with a lot of ingenuity from those working at the front in the distraction department, especially when he could actually see what I was doing.

He had a bath after that to wash all the hair away, and we had a bit of fun with his nice short hair afterwards, trying to make him look like his cousin Elijah who has naturally spikey hair at the moment. He looks adorable with it, and Peter looked cute too. He was soon back to his own little self once dry though. Sarah could never have coped with the spikes!!



Well more on Peter soon, but thoughts are mostly on Rebekah this weekend as it is her birthday tomorrow. So HAPPY BIRTHDAY to a darling little 4 year old girl, who has been getting her beautiful smile back again a lot more of the time just recently.
