Every morning when I make my bed (ok, maybe I don’t make the bed EVERY morning, but when I do…) Lex likes to be buried in a pillow pile at the head of the bed.  He slinks down and chuckles to himself and then suddenly pops out to surprise me.

The boy still has a water obsession, and will climb his stool whenever possible to play in the sink.  Unfortunately this time the sink was full of dirty dishes, so he had to do some rearranging.

Lex and I spent the afternoon at Loretta’s house.  The kids got a chance to play while Loretta and I chatted.  Lex worships Gabby and follows her everywhere.  (I had to remove him when he followed her into the bathroom and she shouted for some privacy.)  But she’s very kind to him and plays with him very patiently.

Gabby showed Lex how to hang the monkeys from the Barrel of Monkeys game on the buffet table:

Lex deep in thought…or just tired:

Watching some Elmo once we returned home:

Lex’s hair has been long and unruly lately, so I did take him to get it cut yesterday.  Well, to be honest, I first tried to cut it myself to save money, and THEN I took him to the salon to repair the chop job his mother gave him.  I think it looks really cute now, and it was actually good timing.  Twice today Lex has gotten his battery operated truck stuck in his hair (while the wheels were spinning), which then ripped out huge tufts of his hair.  If his hair was any longer, the incidents would have been even more dramatic and painful.  Tim and I are hoping that there won’t be a repeat performance.
