Post Haircut Disappointment

So you remember those cute haircut pics from Wednesday, right? Of course you do - they're still on this page and it's only Saturday! If you can't recall, or just want to see them again scroll down 2 posts. Go ahead - I'll wait.

Are you back?

Ok then - here's the rest of the story.

We promised Ish that if he was good during his haircut that we would take him to ride Bob - in the food court there are a few kiddie rides, including a Scoop and Bob ride. Well, Ish was VERY good during his haircut and he was VERY excited as we walked towards Scoop - chanting "Bob Bob Bob" along the way.
Then disaster struck. Someone had jammed the coin mechanism. Ish could not believe what his father was telling him - there would be no Bob ride today.
Crushed, Ish stroked Bob's face and made disappointing "Oh no" sounds.
It was truly one of the worst days of young Ish's life.
The day he had to say goodbye to Bob. No singing, no jerky movements from Scoop. Just a quiet goodbye and a promise that one day we'll be back and hopefully he'll be working again.

Wordless Wednesday: The Haircut

Oh Shea Can You See?

Matt and I went to the Mets game on Sunday.
Our seats were pretty high up and random raindrops hit us every once in a while (it was either raindrops or something coming off the planes from LaGuardia that seemed to skim our heads!). But since the sun stayed out of sight for most of the game, we were pretty comfortable.
It was Mets Hall of Fame Induction Day.
Ralph Kiner was there (he's the guy sitting closest to you in this picture with the white shoes). I love Ralph Kiner.
Keith Hernandez was there. I love Keith Hernandez.
Even Mookie Wilson was there. I love Mookie Wilson too. Mooooooooooooooooooooooook!
The only one not there was Ish. So being the spoiling enabling parents that we are, we had to buy him something to make up for leaving him alone for all those hours (and by alone I mean in the spoiling arms of grandma and Auntie Dana).

Meet the Metserpillar.
He was cute and made for a comfy headrest on the ride home.
And he earned an honorary spot at Ish's train table.
And yes, the stadium is actually now officially Citi Field - but I'm calling it Shea!

Oh the drama....

Ish got a boo-boo yesterday. A cut on his knee. You can see it here in this picture. You can also see that it didn't bother him too much.
But because it was on his knee it would bleed every time he bent his leg. So I had to put a bandage on it. Needless to say, he was not happy about that (he has a weird aversion to all things sticky).
I tried to comfort him and tell him that band-aids were our friend - in fact even Elmo needed band-aids for his boo-boos.
Ish then got double angry that I was torturing both him and his buddy Elmo with sticky weapons of destruction. There was much screaming.
I later found Elmo on the floor, passed out from all the noise and commotion.
Yes, there was that much drama in my house over a band-aid.
