First "Haircut"!

Well it's taken some time for Molly's hair to grown in, but finally over 2 years later, it seemed time for her first "haircut". I'm not sure if we can really call it a haircut, per se, but maybe more like a trim to get rid of the whispy mullet growing in the back. I wasn't entirely comfortable doing it myself, so we just went down the street to the local Great Clips for a $6.99 kid's haircut special and had them give Molly a little trim. Molly did a great job! She sat very still in the chair & didn't fuss one bit. We even got a smile out of her afterwards!

Cyclist in Training!

Molly's Auntie Meg landed a great yard sale find of a glider bike for Molly. It was a little tall for her when we first got it, but in the past week, we started to notice that Molly was able to reach things she wasn't able to just a couple of weeks ago. So we decided to give the bike a try again & sure enough she can reach the ground now! So yesterday Molly asked to try the bike outside & after a little encouragement, she gave it a whirl! She just scooted along, but we all have to start somewhere. Here's a picture and a little video clip from yesterday's maiden ride!

First hockey lesson...

So I try very hard to not get suckered into the dollar bins in the entrance of Target. Actually it kind of pisses me off how they so strategically place those bins full of cheap, plastic kid's crap to sucker in parents right at the door, but that's beside the point. Today there was a set of hockey sticks and a puck right in my line of vision that I couldn't pass up. So far they're a "hit".... Ha ha!

Yoga!

Molly's teachers frequently do yoga in the classroom with the children. Lately, Molly's been really into showing us her yoga poses, including downward dog, leg high, seated meditation/cross legs and recently, the tree pose! She's working on her balance with the tree pose, but isn't too bad at it.

In the last couple of weeks, she's also become really good at using the word "no"! She is very much into asserting her independence and will not let you help her with anything, wants to do everything herself and is not a fan of being told what to do. All typically 2-year old things, I'm sure, but someday...

Here's a little video clip of Molly doing the tree pose, followed by Molly's version of "namaste"!
