The Getschers: New Haircut

New Haircut

So this is the first haircut ever in history that he has not minded. I had to do major prep with him. I spent probably 30 minutes with him just explaining what was going to happen, etc. First, I told him I would give him chips if he got his haircut so that's what got the whole thing started. Then we got out the buzzer and he pretended to cut baby's hair, then my hair, then I pretended to cut his hair so he would know what it felt like. Then I left the buzzer on for a few minutes so he would get used to the noise. Finally, dad came down and was ready to cut his hair. Ethan picked out the chair he was going to sit in and helped me cover it with towels so hair wouldn't get everywhere. We let him take his time to get ready for the hair cut. Finally, he came to the chair. We bribed him with constant fruit snacks and an Elmo movie. Haha. So he did it! Yay Ethan! We were soooo proud of him! Previously, we've had to pin him down and cut it.

Ethan and baby sporting their new hairstyles. Notice how happy he is! YAY!!!

Ethan's Expressions

10/17/10 Mark came home from a church fireside and Ethan said, "How many fireworks did you see?"
10/1/10 Ethan came home from school and said they made a scarecrow but then said they didn't make it with any "scares" in it.
7/1 Ethan was playing with his good friend Addison outside. Eliza was giving Addison big, cheesy, flirty smiles and, even worse, was blowing kisses at him. I then asked her if she wanted to kiss Addison and she nodded her head yes. Boy crazy already! Ahh!
7/1 Mark was talking about Chris King hubs for your bike which supposedly are the best and, in his words, will outlast the bike rider. Ethan said, "Chris King hubs won't outlast Jesus since Jesus never dies." Smart boy.
12/29 "Eliza thinks Rudolph the Reindeer is HER reindeer." He often comes up with silly things that Eliza "says" like this. He has often told me that Eliza thinks she's a mommy and always is telling him what to do.
12/15 Mark said he would take Ethan on splits with the missionaries if Ethan ate all of his dinner. Ethan said, "Great! But I don't like it (dinner, that is)." He said this about 3:00 before I even started thinking about what we would have for dinner.
12/14 Ethan likes to get into Eliza's crib and play quite often when they're supposed to be sleeping. One night we went to check on them at 10:30 PM (!!) and they were still awake, playing. He excitedly exclaimed to Eliza as we walked in, "It's a miracle we're still awake!!" And then proceeded to ask us, "Is it morning time?"
12/13 Ethan asked me if he could draw all over his body. I cautioned him against it, saying that his body was a temple and that we wouldn't be drawing on the walls of the temple. I wanted him to make his own choice... he thought about it for a while and then asked, "Well then, can I draw a temple on my body?" Smart boy.
