Preparing For July 4th and Sweetheart's B-Day

The three of us went on a store outting today. Sweetheart was browsing through the toy sections of the drug store when she came across a very large musical, princess birthday card by Disney. The princess was Cinderella. Sweetheart loved the card. I quietly asked one of the people who worked at the store if they could hold one of them for me until close to Sweetheart's birthday and she said she would. I was happy. I bought wrapping paper at a discount store knowing Sweetheart would know what it would be for and she did ask so I told her the truth. It's hard to keep things secret as a brand new single parent with no real support yet.

Something to note: I was very pleasantly surprised to find that Sugarpuff allowed me to floss his teeth with absolutely no trouble whatsoever tonight. I never saw that coming. Sugarpuff is about 2 1/2 years old and I was sure he was going to kick and scream as he does when I brush his teeth. When I tried flossing his teeth at other times, he had fought with me so I was surprised. Maybe he was tired and didn't want to bother wrestling with me because he fell asleep soon afterward. Maybe I should floss his teeth knowing he will be falling asleep soon from now on. It would be a timing issue. Which reminds me of another similar incident. I took him to get his hair cut about a week or so ago. We prepared the booster seats right in front of him and sat him down on top to get him ready for a hair cut and he didn't make a complaint. He let the hairdresser go at it and he just calmly sat there. I was so upset that I didn't bring the camera. His little head sticking out of the neck wrap was beyond adorable. How non-chalant he was with the haircut was not something I could have ever predicted because he was his usual active self right before we placed him on the chair.
