The big news this week is: Sabine got a hair cut! The last (and only other time) she went to the hair cutter's, she just got a trim. But this time we took off quite a bit, she's got a short little bob, and I think it is darling.
She was a little nervous, but as you can see, she was willing to sit in the chair by herself this time (as opposed to on my lap) and watch Nemo on the TV. I think she was unsure about cutting off her hair, especially since Rapunzel, with her long, long hair, is her favorite movie character right now, but combing knots was becoming a battle every morning, so we sold her on the idea of cutting out the part that gets tangled. It worked, and her hair is definitely easier to brush out now. Plus the purple bows that the girl put in Sabine's hair really impressed her.
I also took her to the toy store next door, as a reward after it was all over, and she picked out a new puzzle, so all's well that ends well. She is really into puzzles these days!
She's also really into playing dress-up, so we spent some time in that section of the toy store, too.
And at home her favorite costume is still her witch costume from Halloween. She'll play alone...
With the cat...
And with friends....
In other news, we got a break from all the recent snow, and went to the playground today because it was 70 degrees out!
Sabine's getting more and more comfortable on the big girl swings, and is much better at pumping these days.
It's been a fun, eventful week. We're off to the mountains again this weekend, hopefully the cold will hold out long enough to let our aspiring figure skater practice on the lake once again.

Figurative Drawing
I've all but been holding my breath, I know that usually around this age kids start doing figurative drawing, and I have been so excited to see what Sabine wants to draw. But until just the other day, it's been all scribbles.
Behold, out of nowhere, Spiderman:
(If you look really closely you might be able to read my grocery list through the back. This list will be saved forever.)
I haven't seen anything else since, but now we know it has started.
In other news, it was 60 degrees today, so we were running around in short sleeves to soak up as much sun as possible before the next snowstorm hits!
