today's happenings

Every Tuesday Grant and I head to playgroup to mingle with other first time mamas and their '09 babies. Today we met up at a friends house and walked to a local park for a picnic lunch and playing on the structure.

Playing, well standing at least, with his buddies Samantha, Owen, and Lucy.

While chatting with the ladies over lunch, I mentioned that Grant was beginning to experience 'cradle cap' and I wasn't quite sure how to get rid of it. Each one of them swore that Aquafore was the magical cure to this problem. So, while grocery shopping this afternoon I picked some up for home. Determined to rid him of this flaking scalp, I bribed him to sit relatively still with fig newton bites as I rubbed it into his scalp and began to comb the flakes out. I'm not sure if I added too much or if Grant's extremely long hair on top were the issue, but here is a sneak peek into the process.



It did help alleviate much of the issue, but I forsee another rememdy to be had in the future. I also washed his hair 3 times this evening and he still looks like a little greaseball:)

Later after his bath and mulitple hair washings I let him explore in his room while I mopped up the area around the sink. Bathing in the kitchen sink wasn't too brilliant since he can stand up now and has continued to develop his strong will. I spent most of the time saying, "No Grant. Sit down." and using my upper body to holster him down. Perhaps this is why his hair still doesn't seem so clean:) Regardless, this was the scene I enjoyed while peering into his room. Is it too early for alone playtime?? He does it so well!!
