Our little neighbor...


Yesterday I finally bought a toaster oven. No more microwaved brownies!! Anyway, this morning I was making cookies and I heard a tiny little maybe knock at the door. I opened it and there was no one there. I thought I had been hearing things. A few more times I heard little sounds, but nothing loud enough to constitute a knock, so I ignored them. About an hour later there was another knock (ish), but this time when I opened it up our 2-ish year old neighbor boy was standing by our door with his bottle! It was so cute. Almost right away his grandma popped her head out of the door (they have a barber shop just opposite of our apartment) and came and took him. I gave him a cookie first because he totally made my day! Can 2 year olds have peanut butter cookies?
We see this little boy quite often because he's always playing outside in front of the barber shop, and always sees us when we leave or come home. Our goal has always been for him to wave to us before we wave to him. Just a few days ago he started to! We were psyched. Apparently once he got to the waving stage he's completely comfortable.
We hope he keeps it up!!

So, what you are saying is that there is no excuse for Shawn to not get a haircut.

Whenever I see cute little kids like that, I want one. Until I babysit and some kid throws a temper tantrum or craps his pants all the way up to his neck. Then I remember why we're waiting.
