1. This kid got a haircut from his Pop-pop and The Husband earlier this week. I LOVE it, and we think it makes him look like such a little man :) And, this girl has started potty training for reals! Two days and a few accidents later, she's also had a few successes! 2. I decided to take a break from lesson plans this week. I chose some books by one of my favorite children's authors and some books by my most favorite children's illustrators. We'll read and enjoy those, and our learning times will be a free time to paint or color or mold or lace as the day calls for it. Jack gets a kick out of me saying, "and this book was written by the same author/illustrated by the same man as this one!"  (I seriously ADORE David Catrow's illustrations and have for years and years. So funky and adorable.)

Last weekend was a busy one.  My parents brought me home with them on Friday since The Husband had to work.  I got a haircut after waiting six long months!  I was so nervous, but I knew I wanted to go shorter.  I was tired of dealing with the heat and only being able to put it up in a ponytail to get any kind of relief.  So, although I was determined to get it cut shorter, I wasn't prepared for how much shorter my gal Angie decided to go with it, haha!  She kept reassuring me, and once I got home and straightened it, I LOVED it!  The Husband loves it, too.  I even wore it curly yesterday to see how it would look because I know that once I have a newborn to take care of, I'm not necessarily going to have spare moments to straighten it each day.  So, anyway, here's the new look!  And, Angie?!  I can still put it in a low ponytail if I incorporate a headband, too :)  Thank you!! After I got my hair cut, I went to get a ped...

I thought it was time for another photo collage of my weeks of pregnancy.  This collage is of weeks 24 through 32.  I think my favorite one so far is this week's. :) One observation:  Good grief, I really need a haircut!  I wonder if the sweet gal who's cut my hair for years and years would drive up here and cut my hair.  For some reason, I don't think my doctor will okay a two-and-a-half hour drive just for me to feel less shaggy, haha, and despite the fact that my mom keeps urging me to find someone local to cut my hair, I just can't do it.  Angie's my friend, and more importantly, she knows how to cut my hair!  That's a rare thing!  I might have to do a search on Pinterest on how to cut one's own crazy hair!
