Wipeout and Haircut

The other week we drove over to the mall to pick up some stuff.  Seems like we’re always picking up random things to get ready for baby sister’s arrival.  It had been a pretty cold day, so Levi hadn’t been outside all day.  So, when we pulled into the parking lot, we put him on the ground to let him walk in by himself.  Well, he started off in a full-out run.  The lot is a little slanted, and he got going a little faster than he could handle.  And, before either of us could react he fell down, caught himself with his hands, but his inertia kept him going forward and he smacked his lip and chin into the cement.  He bit his lip pretty good, and scraped his chin up, but otherwise escaped unscathed.  We were thankful as it could have been much worse.

Levi’s hair was getting a little shaggy and unruly, and with the new baby on the way, we figured it was time for a new cut.  There was a salon nearby that offered half price for the first cut so she decided to take him there.  He did so well.  She used the buzzer on his neck and head and clipped away without any problems.  We think he looks like such a little 5-year-old!
