Another Haircut!

Today we took Tanek to Walmart and had his hair cut while we were there (Dimple needed a break, I think). As usual, it was a traumatic event for him... he screamed and cried almost the entire time, and his face turned beet red! But, the stylist was very patient with him and was able to get it cut. We did have to turn him upside down again, which was a first for her. I'm sure the entire store heard him screaming, and surprisingly, nobody came to see if we were torturing him! All things considered, I think his hair turned out quite well!



There was another man getting his hair cut at the same time as Tanek who gave him a gold dollar to try to distract him from the scissors. It didn't work, but he let him keep the dollar - said he deserved it after that haircut. Anyone that has to be turned upside down while screaming just to get their hair cut deserves something! He also got a new diecast "bugmouth Mine" car and a couple of books for his trouble!

A Boy and His Doggy!

Here is Tanek with his favorite doggy at Nana's house. It is one of my stuffed animals that I had growing up, so it is now called "Mommy's Doggy". I think it's held up pretty well over the years!



"Reflections"

Tanek loves to look at himself in the mirror. He is so funny to watch because he just starts laughing at himself and he lets us know how cute he thinks he is! I love it when he gives himself a kiss in the mirror!



Tanek's First Fish

We finally bought Tanek his very own fish today! It is a blueish/lavendar multicolored Betta fish which Tanek has named "MoMo". Every time we go to Walmart or Ace Hardware, we always have to go look at the fish, so now he has his own to look at whenever he wants. Now we just have to see how long we can keep him alive!
