First Haircut

This entry is brought to you by Evie!

Evie hit a big milestone last Thursday when she went to daycare for the first time. It was only for three hours to get used to it there, but that's a start! As to be expected, she absolutely loved it there. She liked exploring all the toys and playing with the children. According to her teachers, she didn't even notice that Mama was gone. Starting Friday she will be going to the creche (daycare) once a week. In July, that will become two days a week.

To celebrate her success at the creche, that afternoon we went to a salon for Evie's first haircut. They had a great set-up with a children's chair and toys. She did very well for a first-timer, and we are happy with the end results.

all done!

That evening we tried to get some good shots of her new 'do. Unfortunately, she did not really want to cooperate.

"Are you serious?"
Here she was actually shaking her head as I tried to catch a shot.
Playing with Papa after supper, however, always gets a smile from Evie.
In other growing up news. Evie has now (partly) graduated to sitting on the back of the back as opposed to by the handlebars. On Papa's bike, she has a new bike seat. Today we took it for a test ride and it seemed to go well. Even though she doesn't look extremely happy in this picture, she did enjoy the new ride. She'll still ride up front with Mama for a while, though.
