Post Holiday Let-down

Well, I supposed it was bound to happen. The birthday/Halloween high, must have its corresponding low.  Yesterday was my day off, and since I feel pretty recovered from my cold, I wanted it to be a productive day. In the morning Henry and I made a list of things to do. I think he likes lists as much as I do. This time he put things on like "play Super Mario Galaxy" and "blow up balloons." I hate to say it, but we never finished the list because we never blew up balloons. Ooops.  Anyway, yesterday was a busy day filled with an OB appointment (went well and my doctor wasn't mad at me for the last visit), grocery shopping, laundry and cleaning. Even though these were on the list, Henry was not happy about it. All he wanted to do was play Wii, play computer games or eat candy.  Really, that's not a very healthy day.  So Aaron and I tried our best. Aaron took him to the park and we read to him, but the whole day he kept asking about those three things and would have a little tantrum when we said no.  The worst part is that he kept asking every 5 minutes. Man, that can really drain you. I think he got used to us celebrating him and he's not wanting to get back to reality. I definitely see a correlation to his frustration and playing lots of Wii/TV/computer games. This bad day yesterday makes me feel like we need to reel things back a little. I suppose it's my fault for spoiling him a little. This will stop because I miss my lovable boy.

This morning he was a little mad I wouldn't let him play Wii, but he got over it pretty quickly. Yesterday we did get Henry a hair cut. He did great and this is the result.

 I took this picture above and Henry said he did not like it and wanted to try again, so I took another one.

He posed for this one and is happy with the result. Why wouldn't he want to smile?  Still, it's a good hair cut that's not too short.  Sorry the pictures are not the best quality, I took them with my phone.  I wish my sister-in-law was around 24 hours a day and that way I could guarantee great pictures. I guess she has her own life or something.
