When I picked Dan Dan up at day care Wednesday, Mrs K. told me he was "H-I-T-T-I-N-G" another kid. Oh my gosh! Is he at that Terrible 2 stage already? I was surprised because he has always loved playing with this other one-year-old cute baby girl. Apparently, he pushed the girl on the head and grabbed her toy. This is the first time I heard it from day care. He's shown frustration by hitting the table or the floor before. I've seen him trying to get another kid to not touch the horsie that he was on at Tanforan, but nothing at day care. I tried to tell him it's not OK to hit and the baby would be in pain. I am not sure how much he understands. I guess more episodes of that will happen in the near future.
On the other hand, when we picked him up yesterday, he greeted me at the door as always, calling me "Mommy! Mommy!". Then he went over to the cubbies and brought out a sheet of paper for me (all by himself without being prompted by Mrs. K). He showed me a painting that he did! His first from school! Of course, since he's only 2, he just scribbled on the sheet, but the fact that he went over and got it for me, showed how proud he is of himself.
I told Daddy that I've been reading how other mothers save kids artwork in pizza boxes or containers. I think what I am going to do is to start scanning them and put in the "Aidan's Artwork" folder on my computer. If I feel like it, I might make a photobook out of them. Knowing us, these sheets of paper will just be all over the place and become trash.

New Haircut and Fun!
Finally we took Dan Dan for his "first" professionally haircut. He actually had one when he was in Macau, but he only got a trim. This time, it's a REAL haircut. It's amazing how a haircut can totally change you. I look at him now and he's a BOY instead of a BABY. The haircut makes him look so much older. Aww.. where is my baby?!?!
Dan Dan was very well-behaved during the whole process. Daddy was sitting on another chair getting his haircut, and mommy kept him company. The lady was very nice and patient with him. When I tried to take a picture of him with my camera, of course he had to take my cell phone away from me. At least the phone kept him quiet throughout the duration of the haircut. His haircut took even longer than daddy's!
Look at the Before and After Picture :

We also tried to 'spice' it up a little today with his new hairdo. Daddy put some lotion on his hair to give him a "faux hawk". Mommy definitely thinks Dan Dan is so much more handsome and cool! But is he a little too young to look cool? Hmm...
We took Dan Dan to Tanforan playground today again. I think he's a little bored of that place. He didn't play for long and didn't want to run around or play with other kids. We're worried about his socialization skills with older kids, but he seems to get along real good with younger ones. Daddy and Mommy need to find new places for him instead of going to the same playground over and over again.
Luckily, we found a new spot! Barnes and Nobles! He enjoyed that Thomas train set so much. Mommy took him there last week for the first time and he enjoyed playing with 2-3 other kids. They didn't fight for the toys, as mommys were there to monitor. This time, he was the only kid there and he just spent almost an hour playing without making a fuss. Mommy thought about getting him his first train set, but it's definitely not cheap. The cheaper ones are no fun - just an oval-shaped railway. For now, I think we're good with just playing at B&N.
