My how time is flying by

We have had a busy three weeks around here. Visits from Nana and Grandad. Visits from my parents, Great Grandparents. Last but not least a visit from Uncle Casey(that is not uncommon many days a week), but this time will go down in the books. Tye and Casey cut each other's hair, so this was "cut" day for them. I decided to let L hang in the backyard with them so I could get some laundry done without hearing "mommy, mommy, mommy" for a few minutes. Instructions were given to leave Lan's hair ALONE, as in don't touch it, don't cut it, don't even look at HIS hair! I go check to see how the boy time is going out back and what do I find? You guessed they thought it would be cute, funny, annoying???? to shave the sides of his head above Lan's ears. The poor boy looked like Billy Ray Cyrus back in the day. I had been trying to thicken and grow his hair out for winter, with no luck it seems. I won't go into details on all that was said to Tye from me because it got ugly and his bed was the sofa that night. Three days later and a 45 minute one way mini-trip to my hair dresser later all is well with Lan's hair and is now in a summer short cut because there was no saving it. On the development side Landon's vocabulary is exploding. He gains at least a few words a day now and it is amazing. I am working with him on whining. I can't stand it and keep telling Landon that whining is not a language and to use his words. Thankfully, after that prompting he will use his words. It is also official now that keeping Landon contained in the exersaucer while I shower is a thing of the past. I knew this day was coming & was pleasently suprised it had not happened sooner but he can now pull himself out and destroy our bedroom while I finish getting ready. I am not sure how I am going to get a shower in the mornings anymore? I thought about showering at 5 am before he is up but that leaves me walking 3 miles after my shower and hoping body spray covers the traces of the morning walk. Our bedroom is simply to small to make it baby proof and our bathroom is also to small. I will just wait on the day we can add on or rebuild to have a "safe" place in the master bedroom/bathroom. We are going to do our best to make it to a pumpkin festival or farm this weekend, so hopefully I will have some pics to share after that adventure.
