Barber Shop

John got a barber kit from Aunt Betty for Christmas.  John loves to watch Daddy shave in the morning.  So Aunt Betty thought it would be a great gift for John.  Tonight, I announced that the kids needed a bath tonight (after Gillian combed her hair with her fork).  Daddy said, I think someone will want to take a bath.  John said "Actually, I want to try something new! I want to try my barbecue shop!" It took us a little while to realize that he wanted to try out his new barber shop kit.  Here is John trying out his kit tonight:

Gillian loved watching John shave and as you can hear at the end of the video, she asked John to shave her too!

Splish splash

I gave the kids a bath tonight. Lately John has been showering so it is pretty rare to have the two of them in the tub together. Tonight they were very good in the bathtub. No fighting just a few giggles. They were playing with John's Spider-Man and Iceman. Gillian put Spider-Man on the bathtub ledge. She was putting him night-night. When she was distracted I pushed him back in the tub. She got mad, but put Spider-Man back on the ledge. And again I pushed him back in the tub. She yelled at me, but yet again put him back on the ledge. This time, I said to her Gilly look over there as I pointed to the back of the tub. She looked of course and I pushed Spider-Man into the tub. Both John and Gillian started giggling. Now John wanted to get involved. He put Iceman up on the ledge and says "Don't knock him over!" But I did it again and again. And every time they heard the splash of the water they laughed and laughed. We continued with this game until it was time to get cleaned. I love that the simplest games get the most giggles.
