Growing w/ the Whitakers: Parents Away = Hangout with Family

Ok, here's the situation.

Alex's parents went away on a little vacation.

Oh, Oh Sorry, I'm just modifying the words to DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince's song called "Parents Just Don't Understand". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jW3PFC86UNI
Ya'll know how I am.

No but really, Charles and I realized we had way too many vacation days at work and so before we lost them, we used them. Thankfully, lots of family was ready and willing to spend some time with Alex so it was a done deal. Aunt Tasha and Tea came and picked him up, took him to Nana and Papa's house, played around for a couple days, Grammy was in town and scooped him back up before she returned home. Alex couldn't stay too long because he had to come home and go back to daycare. Remember from the last post, we're still in the "getting used to it" stage so we didn't want to keep him away too long. There are lots of pictures, including ones I haven't seen, but he had a great time!!

A quick trip to Old Navy on Day 1. This person looks about my size.

Take notice of Alex's hair. It won't look like this in any other pictures.

Alex, Papa and Tea

Did you say it? OMG? Where's Alex's hair?

Well, Charles asked Aunt Tasha to cut it because he felt like it was just too hot and too much hair. The top of his head was always hot even if he wasn't playing around. So Aunt Tasha got to cutting. Aaaawwww it hurts even saying it. HAHAHA!!! When I first got the picture (not this one) from many miles away, I probably had some really random good and bad thoughts. However, the reason for cutting it over powered anything else and although our boy looks 4 instead of barely 2, I quickly found a liking for it. Thanks Aunt Tasha!
