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:
