Sister's Room and Becoming a Big Brother

Our second baby is going to be a girl, and in just a few short days, Joshua is going to be a big brother. His world is going to turn upside down, and Joshua doesn't really know what he is in for at this time. He is 2 and knows about babies, but he doesn't understand about the baby in Mommy's belly. He also knows that the room next to his room is his sister's room. Every night when he comes upstairs to get ready for bed, he says "sister's room, sister's room" opens the door and walks in. He loves being in his sister's room, but he doesn't know what that means. Soon, he will really find out. We wanted to prepare him as much as we could, but since he is so young, he really doesn't understand. Once we come home with the baby, we will make a big deal out of Joshua becoming a big brother and how exciting it will be for him. We know that there are some struggles ahead but anything we can do to help him with the transition, we will do.

Two Year Pictures

Joshua had his 2 year formal pictures taken. His first official pictures sporting the new haircut. So cute! Look at my baby all grown up.

First Haircut

Joshua finally had his first haircut yesterday. A lot of kids get their first haircut around their first birthday, but for Joshua, it wasn't until after his second. He didn't have a whole lot of hair when he turned one, so we didn't really find it necessary. Then, the curls came in. They were very cute curls, but at some point, some of them became unruly. Joshua had a mix of cute little boy curls and a bird's nest.

We took Joshua to Cartoon Cuts for his first haircut experience. The woman set him up on the bench and went to strap him down, and that is when Joshua freaked out. Scissors were no where in sight. Therefore, Joshua sat on Keith's lap the whole time for the haircut. He squirmed a bit and didn't really like it. Hopefully, he will settle down as he gets more used to haircuts.

The end result of Joshua's haircut - a baby who magically turned into a little boy. It is amazing how one little haircut made Joshua transform into a little boy. He is no longer a baby. :(
