First Haircut & Security

Before:

I really wanted to wait till Junior was a year till I got his first haircut, but more and more people were calling him a girl so I finally broke down and had it done.

After:

He was too wiggly so you really can't tell, but all his curls are gone. Such a cutie!

While he was getting his haircut Abs decided that was the time to get into everything and act rotten. My mom took her out and held her in her arms while Abs screamed. A woman from a neighboring store came out, took a look and within seconds security for the shopping center appeared. They asked Abs who was holding her and she said "My Grandma" and then they asked her if everything was okay and she replied "No, she is squeezing me". The security guard told Abs that it looked like her Grandma didn't want her doing what she was doing. Leave it to Abs to have security called on her. On the bright side at least someone noticed something was going on and did something about it. All those reports of bystanders doing nothing kind of disturbed me. Still sorry that my mom had to go through this though.

When Em was little (about 18 months) we lived in Washington State and DH and I were in Target. Em was a bear and finally DH just picked her up and was carrying her out to the car. A woman stopped him and asked him if that child belonged to him and DH replied "When she acts like this I don't know who she belongs to!"
