Alli

Alli came running down the stairs today when she heard us come home. You are thinking that this happens everyday and you are right. Only today, Christopher flung his arms open and said "Alli" and then hugged her as tight as he could. It was the cutest moment ever.

The Best Hugs

Christopher threw his arms around my neck on Thursday and gave me the biggest hug for the first time! He just kept hugging and hugging and laughing! It was the best hug ever! Now he keeps running to me and throwing his arms around me all the time. I just love it when he learns new things!

Haircut

Christopher had a haircut yesterday. The woman was able to fix it up from the terrible haircut he was given by a certain person who did a horrible job. He held perfectly still until the very last trim. The poor woman clipped his ear and it started to bleed. I was very calm and Christopher did not even notice that it happened. I kept trying to down play it before Nicholas noticed. He gets very upset when his baby brother is hurt. You would think it happened to him. So the woman comes over with bandages and towels and wipes. Everyone must have thought his whole ear was taken off. She starts making a huge deal out of it and Nicholas starts to lose it. He has to see it, starts tearing up, it was horrible. I thought he was going to fall on the floor and faint at any second once he saw the blood. I finally get the woman to ring us up so we can leave and then some man is telling me how to put pressure on it. I must have said he's fine a hundred million times. Can't people take a hint? Do they not see the brother who is pale, shaking, and ready to faint???? Do they want Christopher to start crying, is not good enough that he's calm? A ridiculously too long of a time later we finally escaped. Nicholas checked the ear every chance he had when we came home. Finally, it has been forgotten by everyone but me. I think I am scarred for life!

Kisses

Nana came to visit for a few days this past week. Christopher spent lots of time with her and he loves her kisses. He would go running into her arms to get those hugs and kisses. If I was holding him, he would lean back so she could kiss his neck and then snuggle into me to get away from her. He would do it over and over! He just loves his Nana!

The Sweetest Thing

While Bash was here today he said that cutest thing to me -

Bash - "Miss Trisha, I love Christopher."
Me - "Christopher loves you, too, Bash."
Bash - "Christopher really misses me while I am gone, doesn't he?"
Me - "Yes, Bash, he does really miss you."
Bash - "I really miss him, too. He loves to come over and play at my house."
Me - "He sure does. He thinks your house is fun."
Bash - "I know he does."
