Horrible done-by-mom haircut


Before the haircut massacre..



The aftermath...




Well, I had to do it. I had to cut Keira's bangs. They were getting in her eyes (as she kept rubbing them all day long) and she wouldn't let me put a hairpin in her hair to keep it up. Trying to get a kid to stay still for a haircut is...almost impossible!

The first round of cutting went well and looked ok. But then I had to keep chopping and chopping until..horrors! She looked like Mireille Mathiew....or worse, Rene Simard! Thank goodness she doesn't care what she looks like now...hoboy...

I'll let this grow out and then head on to the professionals by Spring. I think I've learnt my lesson. heheheheheh....

Mini Pat Benatar



Well, I had to do it. I had to get Keira that pink guitar. Went to Toys R Us for a V-tech game but came out with a pink guitar instead. Was cheaper too! lol. It's got 3 or 4 songs pre-installed. You can also press the strings and it makes noise. Fun stuff for a 3 year old wanna-be-rocker!

Mickey! Minnie! Daisy!




Well, yet another business trip for Claude and as usual, he brought back some toutous for Keira. This time, he managed to get to a Disney store and bought Keira Mickey and friends. Man, the look on Keira's face when she got them was priceless.

So far, it's been a nostalgic weekend. Keira is watching all her fave dvd's: The Wiggles, The Backyardigans, Cornemuse... Amazing she remembers the songs and dancing.

Still having difficulty getting this kid to eat her meals. Does anyone have favourite recipes that kids love? I can only make so much spaghetti...lol.
