Haircuts All Around!

Wow! I am long over due on this blog and have so many stories to share. This one is one of my favorites though.....

Daddy got his hair cut....then Jameson.....then it was time for Tucker's haircut.

Jameson did really good with his first official haircut and talked about it for days after. Tucker was scheduled for his first grooming/haircut a few days after Jameson's. When the time came, I loaded Tucker and Jameson in the car and we were talking about how Tucker was going to get a haircut too. Everything was just fine until we got to the grooming salon.

The minute I handed Tucker and his leash over to the groomer.....my happy little Jameson started screaming, "get him, get him, Tucker come home! " He was very upset and on the verge of tears. As Tucker disappeared through the doors the tears came pouring down his sweet little cheeks. He kept saying " get him, get him". The groomer kindly told Jameson that it was her turn to play with Tucker for a little while.

We left and I realized what a bond these two have. Needless to say, Jameson and Tucker were very excited to see each other when we picked Tucker up. Both boys now have nice haircuts!

News Flash: Issaquah, WA - Fred Meyer

Monday, March 24, 2008 7:15 PM

Several women reported being "flashed" by an almost 2-year old while shopping at the local Fred Meyer. While they innocently shopped for their weekly groceries, the offender, one Jameson DeHart would capture their attention by saying "Hi!".

Once they responded, he would lift his shirt and sweater all the way up to his face, exposing his chest and belly and would yell "look at my belly button".

He is quite an adorable little guy and most of the victims were amused, however bystanders say that the mother of the little guy was hiding under the grocery cart with a very red face.

Find eggs??

Jameson really got into Easter this year. Grammy and Poppa sent him an Easter "bucket" that he just loved. He keeps trying to find more cookies in the eggs. He shakes them and hands them to us and says "open, it...cookies?" Well, by now all the cookies are long gone....but he keeps on trying!

He loved the egg hunt that we did inside the house on Easter morning. In fact, we did two rounds of egg hunts he loved it so much. This morning the first thing out of his mouth was "Find eggs?"

I spoke too soon.......

So last night, Jameson is in the hallway and says, "oh no!" and points to the wall that has some red crayon marks on it. ( I thought I had hidden all the crayons for supervised crayon time ), so I said, "oh no, who did that?" He said as serious as can be, "Daddy did it, no no Daddy". So I played into it and said, "Daddy did this? I'm going to ask Daddy when he gets home." Then he said, " Jameson did it". I was hardly able to contain my laughter.

So when Christian got home the three of us went over to the wall and I said, " Jameson, who did this?" He looked around, knowing he couldn't blame it on Daddy and said, "Tucker". We just cracked up.

"I Did It!"

Some kids try and hide it from their parents when they make a mistake or do something naughty. Jameson likes to announce it by yelling "I did it!".

He then leads us to the scene of the crime, where we are bound to find spilled juice, a ripped book, coloring on the wall, or Rusty trying to lick butterfly stickers off of his fur. Jameson is not proud when he says "I did it!" He always has this "guilty/I know I am in trouble" look on his face, but I guess he wants to be forthcoming about what he has done.

We hope he will always be this honest! :)

We Need a Little Work on the "Quiet Voice"

Jameson and I went to the library today to pick out some new books. They have a great kids area with little chairs and couches that the kids can sit on to read. So we picked out a "Wheels on the Bus" book and a tractor book and Jameson settled in on the couch to read while I went to pick out some more books for him.

I am a few rows away looking for airplane books when I hear the unmistakable voice of our precious little guy singing " The Wheels on the Bus" at the top of his lungs. I was trying to hold in my laughter as I sprinted back to the couch to remind him to use his inside voice. There were many giggles going around the library at that point.

"Winkle, Winkle Little Tar"

Jameson definitely has his Daddy's genes for the love of singing and the ability to carry a tune. One of his favorite activities is to strum the guitar and sing, "winkle winkle little tar". He carries the tune of the songs perfectly....just still working on the correct words a bit.

Here are a few of the others that we hear on a daily basis...........

"Itsy Bitsy Pider"
"Bridge down, bridge down" (London Bridge)
"Row Row Row the Boat"
"Comes...round the mountain...comes" (She'll be comin' round the mountain)
"Wheels on the bus, round and round"
"Okey Pokey, Okey Pokey"
"Muh-Man, Muh-Man" (muffin man)(he rubs his belly while he sings this one)
"AB6 XYZ"

He' s our little American Idol!
