Summer Camps in Bay Area

Although R is still too small for summer camps I thought this might be useful for other parents out there. The following is a very comprehensive list of summer camps in the bay area.

Childcare Resource in Bay Area

I recently came across this group: childcare_ca@yahoogroups.com. This mailing list is for silicon valley and surrounding area families to post their queries and reviews on bay area daycare's, refer nannies that their own kids have outgrown and a forum to post their questions on child care options. The group is pretty good and I hope to use it to find a nanny for our second baby who is due soon.

The Hair Cut

Yesterday R had his first tear-free painless haircut. After 2 years of bad half done haircuts - this one definitely goes in his list of milestones. He started off with reluctance but managed to sit on the chair alone after a little bit of persuasion and comments like "You are going to look cute after the haircut" and the famous "You will get a lollipop". I also managed to take a few of his favorite books which were easy for him to hold and that took care of the rest of the haircut. It was interesting to see his reactions while looking at himself in the mirror - he was almost making sure the hair stylist was doing her job ! All-in-all we had a successful haircut and we all ended up coming out happy and satisfied :). I am keeping my fingers crossed and just hoping that the trend continues ....
