Oliver's hair had finally got just a little out of hand and messy so yesterday we decided to take him for his first haircut :) We went to a kids hair salon in Maple Grove which was great. There were toys to entertain the kids while they waited, colourful chairs to sit on and a little TV to watch while their hair was being cut. All the children are given an Adventure Pass as well. We weren't sure what this was until we saw other children use it after their haircuts. They put it into a machine and they got a prize!! Oliver was so good during the whole thing and just looks so grown up now. He wasn't too sure about the prize machine but he did win some crayons so that was nice :) There is one downside about the whole thing though - I asked the girl cutting Oliver's hair to save some of it (especially the curly bits from the back!!) because it won't be blonde or curly forever. She did this and we put it in a ziploc bag and put it in his changing bag. Anyway, when I went to get it at home later it was gone :((( I am so distraught (probably irrationally so). Jon even phoned the restaurant where we had lunch to see if it was there but no :( We'll just have to cut another piece off I suppose but it's not the same *sigh*.
Oliver turned 15 months old this past week and is growing up so fast. He now likes to come down the stairs like a big boy - holding onto the bannisters and actually stepping down each stair! He understands a lot of what we say and if we ask him to pick up a particular toy he usually does it. Of course he is learning the word "no" as well - from when we say it and when he doesn't want something!! He said "no" quite clearly one day this week at dinnertime :) He likes to play with Scoop and throw the ball for her. He thinks it's hilarious when Scoop chases the ball and slips all over the laminate floor! And his new favourite cupboard is the one with the saucepans in it - give him a wooden spoon and a pan and he's happy!
It has been soooooo cold here the past few days as well. We are happy today because it's warmed up by 20 degrees and is in the 40s (Fahrenheit). The wind was so nasty at times that I described it to Mum as like having my face scraped along loose gravel!! It's not like it's been snowy or icy at all - just very very very cold (for me!!). Apparently that is what it's like in January so can't wait for the New Year, LOL!!
This week Oliver gets to have his 15 month check at the docs so more vaccinations. But it's also Thanksgiving on Thursday so Jon only has to work 3 days and then has a nice long weekend. We are off to Grandpa and Grandma's house for my first taste of Thanksgiving - looking forward to it :))
Oliver just looked so cute with his hood up!

Oliver is actually a morning person despite the look on his face! I wanted a picture of his super cosy dinosaur PJs!
Whenever I put Oliver's hat on he does this really cute face :)
