Jacob Gets First Haircut!

After Amy trying to decide whether or not she wanted to cut Jacob's hair personally, if at all, an impromptu decision was made to get it cut. So, a trip to Carnival Cuts it was. Jacob chose to get his hair cut in the fire truck complete with steering wheel. He was a very good boy as he flirted with the "stylists" and kept driving to put out the fire. The only issue was that he liked to follow people to see what was going on. The girls were very good with him and he had fun as well. The girls wanted to give him all kinds of lollipops because he was so cute and good, but Amy had to say no since Jacob is not ready for those... yet! I say yet because he turns a whopping one year old on Sunday! Don't let the picture fool you, he was happy and having fun and so were the workers. Jacob was their only customer at the time so he was getting a lot of attention...

Tonight was "Curriculum Night" at the high school where we strolled around the high school as Anyssa. We attended 10 minutes in each of the six classes (Health, Biology, Algebra I, English, History and Spanish). We were tardy once because we had the quite the hike from way outside to the other side of campus. It didn't help that we had some slow pokes in front of us (about 10 women carrying up a stroller with a kid sleeping in it...). We were given a warning and were able to dodge detention and going to the principal's office. We were able to get Anyssa some extra credit for showing up and double extra credit in Biology for both Amy and I showing up. We didn't introduce ourselves, so we don't if Michigan Tech will get Anyssa brownie points or not, but the teacher and her husband both went to Michigan Tech so we shared conversation about that before she got into her blurb about her class.

When we got home, we were surprised that we couldn't find Jacob. We figured we would put him to bed when we got home. Jacob was so tired that Anyssa put him to bed and was sound asleep upon our arrival. Anyssa had a lot of fun with him while we were gone as she shared stories of the night. Jacob was on her right eating animal crackers, Anyssa was in the middle eating pretzels and Frankie was on her left eating one of her treats. It was a slumber party without the slumber... Anyssa is very much looking forward to the next time we leave the nest so that she can have Jacob all to herself ;)!
