A Couple of Firsts

The first "first" applies for Jonathan! Jonathan has been growing long peach fuzz on his upper lip that he's been quite proud of. He even refers to it as his "stash". I hate the ugly fur and have been pestering him to remove it! Well, He is at EFY right now and before he left I had him read the "Dress and Grooming" standards which said "no facial hair". On his own he decided to remove it. So yesterday was Jonathan's first experience with a razor. It was successful!

The second "first" was for Miles. Parents, in general, spend a lot of time teaching their babies what things say... "Zeke... what does doggy say? Woof!" "Lizzie, what does kitty say?... Meow!" Well, we are no exception, except that Dan doesn't do anything the traditional way. Rather than teach Miles his animal sounds, Dan has been focusing on "Miles, What does the lawnmover say?" This is followed by a growl. Dan's teaching persistency has paid off and Miles does his first "What does the __________" say? He'll growl at you when you ask about the lawnmower. Last night, we were going over some things with our renters and they had their weed wacker and mower out and Miles kept crawling over to them and growling at them. It was really cute. Non-traditional, but still really cute!
