Today, Aaron had his first haircut here in the U.S. I now have one boy who requires haircuts every 4 weeks (high maintenance Donovan, every month since he was 8 weeks old) and one boy who is a low maintenance "buzz cut" boy - Aaron. Melissa buzzed his hair this morning. We were the only ones in the salon, which was perfect, and Aaron LOVED it. He giggled at the feeling of the clippers touching his hair. I'm sure he had this done at the orphanage, as he had an overgrown buzz cut when we received him. He looks very cute! Of course when Rupert arrived home from work he said, "Gosh it's so short, he's almost bald." Yes Rupert, that's a buzz cut! Anyways, IT LOOKS VERY CUTE!
After the haircut, Aaron and I then headed to Kids Town to have his feet measured (size 8 wide) and to get his first pair of sneakers here in the U.S. (The slip on shoes he came to us in had very little treads/traction on the bottom and looked really small on him.) He is very happy with his new sneakers!
He also went to the grocery store for the first time. Certainly quite different than the outdoor markets we visited in China! He had fun helping to check out at the register.
Lots of "firsts" today! We had a great day together. Donovan went to Lisa's (daycare) all day (first day in over a week as it was spring vacation last week). He had a lot of fun with his friends. Once we were in the car, Aaron clearly shouted (MANY TIMES), "Donovan, we missed you. Donovan, we missed you. Donovan we missed you" all the way home! It was a LONG 5 minute ride home :)
