hair dresser

Since Nathan was born, his first hair-cut was done by mommy using a pair of scissors. It was simply cutting the hair that block his eyes and ears and neck on the back.

Then I had always been bringing Nathan to neighborhood hair salons to get hair cut. Mommy held him on her laps and most of the time Nathan was doing a good job. When it was towards the ending, he showed impatience and started to shake his head. Mommy used tissues to remove the hair on his face. After it's done, we went back home and give him a bath immediately.

Well, what the hair dressers did, was just to set the clip to one or two level and go over Nathan's head. Mommy had always thought it was so simple and "I can do it myself". However for two reasons Mommy didn't go and buy the hair razor: (1) such hair cut is not expensive, it's HK$40 (about US$5.3); (2) mommy had no confidence due to no experience.

After we move to the new home, there are a few hair salons in the nearest plaza, but all expensive. Also the 2nd baby will be a boy again, it's the time to buy the hair razor. Thanks to Mommy's colleague who told her where to get the deal. In the end, Mommy spent HK$150 in the Conair hair razor for kids with everything in the package.

Last Saturday afternoon, when Nathan was watching babyTV channel, mommy started the experience. Surprisingly it's not that difficult. Even though there is a few long hair stick out after washing, the whole image was pretty good. See the picutre below.

单手推车/拎包/玩积木和Lego

*** 单手推车/拎包 ***

小宝绝对是个特别的孩子，特别到妈妈现在已经不敢带Stroller出门。在大连2个星期里，妈妈领教了小宝处处要推车的特点。回到香港，家里有3辆不同样式的Stroller。爸爸妈妈挨个试过带出去逛街，发现养小宝需要无比的耐心，要防止他撞人，防止他摔跤，推累了要歇会，经常执意要往相反的方向推。如今几乎不带Stroller去逛街了，可还是有问题，超市里的推车成了他的玩具，而且手一定要放在大人推得高高的手把上。看着他踮着脚尖好辛苦，他也难免推不好而发脾气。只好千方百计用食物或商店里的其他物品或者我的手机来转移他的注意力。

家里还要两辆小宝的专驾：1个小三轮和1个猪仔车。小宝都是有时飞快的推，有时坐上去用两脚蹬地前进。搬新家之后，花园超大。这两天开始试着单手推，另一只手的指头还放在嘴里含着。看着又好笑又可气。带他出去散步的前2/3段还比较轻松，最后他折腾累了，人要妈妈抱，车要妈妈扛。如果离家有点距离的话，妈妈只好打电话找爸爸求救。

每次去散步，妈妈都拎个袋子，装着小宝的水壶，手机，钥匙等。最近小宝又迷上了拎袋子。人小志气大，袋子自然是在地上拖着前进。幸亏用的是超市积分换的袋子。

*** 玩积木和Lego ***

家里有两桶Lego，一桶积木。以前小宝只会哗啦啦把它们倒的满地，再收拾回去。如今的小宝会坐在那里堆积木，拼Lego。有时独自都能玩很久，当然如果妈妈在旁边又不陪他玩的话，小宝就会有意见了。毕竟是初级阶段，不知道基座要稳才能建高楼的道理，还喜欢用圆柱形。妈妈很开心小宝能主动爱上这些锻炼眼手脑协调的游戏。
