I can't even believe it!! The temperature has been in the 80s (and even 90s) for weeks and now that school is finally out, the temps are in the high 60s and low 70s and are expected to stay there all week. It's perfect if you want to sit outside, but Bobby wants to swim!! He had his swim gear on and ready to go at 9:00 this morning (too bad it was 50+ plus outside). So much for the 90 degree water temp. that we had last weekend. At least the rain only lasted one day.
There is one thing that we HAD to do since school is out...
buzz Bobby's beautiful locks off!! We struggled with washing his hair yesterday (it was taking TOO LONG to rinse the shampoo out, which was not making him happy to say the least), so off with his hair!!
He is now sporting his summer THUG look!!
Can you tell from Bob's smile how much he loves Zoi???!!!
Back to the hair cut...yesterday afternoon I got out the clippers and the most amazing thing happened, Bobby let me clip his hair!! Now don't get me wrong, he didn't sit down and comply without complaining, but we completed his hair cut in 10 minutes. There were no suckers involved, no stopping midway for a ride to McDonald's so that we could all have a much needed break. He let me do a few swipes, ran around the room and came back with verbal prompts. He even bent his head down so that I could get the back. I was even able to switch to smaller guards and get his neck and around his ears better than I ever have. I also got to go all over his head a few times to get all of the small hairs that always miss getting cut. A haircutting miracle happened at our house yesterday!!!
Bobby did get into the pool today. He stayed in for about 5 minutes. Zoi insisted that she come out and sit by the pool too and since it was cool outside, she got her wish.
Different views of Bobby's new do...
Sure hope this hair cutting breakthrough doesn't regress!!! Also hope that the temperatures increase and we can have some pool play dates soon!!
A boy and his dog... and his pool. Nice.
