Haircuts and Ice Cream

Keaton had his first hair cut over the weekend. It was a bittersweet day for me. I didn't want to cut it, I want him to have long luscious locks. I think a part of me also thought that once he had his hair cut, he was no longer a baby. I guess at 18 and a half months - he is not a baby. 


He was so good at the salon, he hardly moved, he just sat there in awe of what was happening. 

Now I'm not one of those people that find shaved heads, tennis ball cuts, or spikes "cool" for little kids (well most kids), so I made it quite known that he was to have minimal cut off. The stylist said we should shave it all off - as it will make his hair grow back thicker. Um - I never shaved my hair and its thick - so hell no am I going to have Keaton looking like a tennis ball. Each to their own i guess.

Spring time in Auckland is great - well in any country, but I think I appreciate it more now that we live in New Zealand, and we are super close to the beach. 
After our haircut trip we took a wander along beach and it was such a superb day out, we went and got Icecream. 

There is the cute little Icecream shop that closes over winter, and when its open there are always ques. We got there just before a influx of people, so didn't have too long to wait.

Keaton got to have his first cone Icecream - he ate it so well, hardly made a mess, and managed to get the licking motion going after watching us with our ones. He doesn't have a lot of dairy in general as he is a bit lactose intolerant ( he is semi okay with milk, but anything else does not agree with him), this was really a treat for him, and while he wont be able to have them all the time, I am sure he will enjoy them when he does have them.

Until the next adventure ...
