Santa is kinda scary

today we went iceskating and then saw santa. i was not really sure if i wanted to talk to him even after i talked about going to see him all day, bu tthen he gave my friend lily a candycane and i had to go and see what it was all about. i asked him for a basketball and a train. this santa likes to ride his bike, which makes him extra cool.

Mama done went and cut all my hair off

just after my haircut
at sesame street live right after i dove off the stage onto the concrete (oh and mama dyed her hair red)!
fully dressing myself






It was time. I knew it, but she did not. I think mama was a bit traumatized to cut my hair because she loved my curls so much, but it was time. She used this phase of my not liking anything girly to her advantage. In the last few weeks several people have told me i look like a girl, which I did not like. But when they put a girl toy in my first ever happy meal, mama kinda thought it might be time to trim it back a little. Here is the video of the event.

oh and yes, I can dress myself now..here is a photojournal of my first time doing it head to toe (except the pictures loaded in reverse order).

I am getting so big and I have decided that when I grow up I want to be a drummer. That's right, and I have said it a bunch, so that means that I mean it. I even drummed in a drum circle the other night. Mama and papa took me to see Elmo Live today, I was mesmerized--it was a good story and I smiled a lot. Mama got bad parent of the year award for sitting me on the edge of the stage and then stepping back to take my picture and stopped paying attention to me for a second I decided that cookie monster was going to get me so I jumped off the stage and smashed into the ground--mama got a stern talking to from the security gaurd and alot of dirty looks from other parents; but i was all smiles, did not even cry, and she felt so bad she bought me a $10 elmo balloon.
