We recently found a Geek Parents Network meet-up group (there’s all kinds of meet-up groups) and – well – met up with some other parents with common interests in geeky things like gaming, sci-fi/fantasy, anime… and were introduced to a place nearby called Pickles’ Playroom in Lincoln Square. It features a play area, cafeteria and a kids’ salon – and we decided to let a professional take care of Joey’s hair for a change. Here’s the result:
I kind of mourned the loss of his mop on top of his head but at least everything was cut mostly straight and more-or-less even in length – and it’ll grow out pretty fast anyway. The lady was impressive – she sat him on this toy car barber chair, handed him two toys, let us pick out a dvd and popped it in the player, and before he knew what was going on she was combing and snipping at his hair. I should’ve taken a video but I wasn’t fast enough! I did manage to grab a shot of her at work though:
That was a few weeks back.
We’ve since been to a picnic at the park with the Geek Parents and also had our first grill-out at Kevin and April’s newly re-done backyard.
Here’s Finn checking out Joey’s Thomas (which of course came along – the miracle is that he let Finn play with it).
And a happy Finn with the grill in the background:
Meanwhile Joey’s checking out Finn’s Legos:
His hair is thankfully growing out already… Oh and this is a shot we had Kevin take for us for a history book that Farmer City is putting out:
These are really good pictures of your outings. Life shouldn’t be all work, right? Sounds like you have linked up with other young people who are interested in family things. So glad for all of you. Finn is really growning up fast. Seems like he was just born. Mom
