I went to the salon this morning with Nana to check out their availability tomorrow morning, but the receptionist encouraged us to do it right away. Apart from one poor woman trying to get a manicure, the salon was empty. Based on the babies' first very vocal haircut performance, I strongly suspect the receptionist was motivated to get us in and out of there when there was minimal risk that we would cause a mass exodus. Of course, Keith screamed the moment the stylist put the cape on him, but Colin and Evelyn were really cooperative and didn't shed a tear... in the chairs. With a bit of a sinking feeling, I realized that our emergency cookie supply was gone, so I had to resort to singing to restore the peace. You know, Before Triplets I was too shy to hum in front of Edward (with good reason, I should add). Now, I belt out "Skip To My Loo" in public without batting an eyelash.
Anyways, I digress. Taken this afternoon:
Colin, pointing to the camera and asking "Da-Da-DAT?!", which is what he does when he's really excited about something. May not be a new something, he still "Da-Da-DAT!?"s the minivan at least 5 times in a row when he sees it in the garage. You may also notice that he's sitting in the toybox. This is his favourite destination. He climbs in and doles out the toys to his siblings as he sees fit. He can get out on his own, a feat he's able to accomplish because he's got pretty good balance and can stand on his own - much to his immense self-satisfaction.
Keith and Evelyn. Poor Keith was a little off for most of the day. I'm wondering if his gums are bothering him. Evelyn's lower canines are coming in, and she doesn't seem too upset about that at the moment. However, Keith isn't the best patient. He's a very sensitive soul, and he always wears his heart on his sleeve. He cheered up later on in the evening, and because we had chili for dinner, they all got a bath tonight. Our water babies love their baths - and it is wonderful to send everyone to bed happy and smiling!
