Full of Chic ](https://www.littlebabylump.com/blog/bid/219488/His-Diaper-is-Full-Full-of-Chic) Posted by [Pamela Vaughan](https://www.littlebabylump.com/author/pamela-vaughan) Jun 6, 2010 8:23:39 AM I was hardly kidding when I said I'd be purchasing a pack of [Huggies Jeans diapers](http://www.huggies.com/en-US/products/diapers/jeans) (if you missed my previous post, including the awesome commercial, [click here](http://littlebabylump.com/2010/05/27/huggies-jeans-diapers-are-coming/) now).� Well, needless to say, I bought some, they're awesome, and James is super embarrassed for Emmett. It's been hot, so Emmett's been modeling them around the apartment quite frequently...

[caption id="attachment_1179" align="aligncenter" width="539" caption="a partial view of My Gym Boston"][![My Gym Boston](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc02288.jpg "My Gym Boston")](http://littlebabylump.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/dsc02288.jpg)[/caption] Emmett was a huge fan of "free play," where the kids can wander around the room, free to do whatever they want.� And there's a lot to choose from -- a large ball pit, wedge-shaped gym mats, slides, trampolines, climbing walls. Speaking of climbing, there are multiple options for the "climber," which Emmett has expressed a lot of interest in at home recently. (Let's just say if I leave the room for 2 seconds, I'll come back to him standing on top of the coffee table as if he's just claimed a new land.)� I'm hoping his My Gym experiences will help to satisfy his climbing urges rather than encourage more of them at home, but only time will tell.� He also had no problem with "separation time," when the kids' accompanied parents are asked to leave the play area and leave the children alone with the My Gym instructors. [caption id="attachment_1180" align="aligncenter" width="539" caption="the Waddlers during "separation time" (looks like one mom didn't understand the concept)"][![My Gym Separation Time ](https://www.littlebabylump.com/Portals/188884/Images/dsc02285.jpg "Separation Time")](http://littlebabylump.files.wordpress.com/2010/04/dsc02285.jpg)[/caption] On the other hand, any sort of organized activity was a struggle.� "Circle time," when all of the children and their parents sit in a circle for specific activities, was not a welcomed part of My Gym time for Emmett.� I'm hoping that in the weeks to come, the class will help Emmett learn how to follow directions and participating in organized activities will become easier.� Again, only time will tell ... In other news, last night before bed Emmett went on Safari, killed and skinned a wild giraffe and then displayed it as a hood ornament ...

We took Emmett for his first (professional) haircut last weekend.� I'd cut it before myself, but it was the first time we actually took him somewhere to get it done (and he was starting to look like a hippie).� Let's put it this way -- he was *not *a fan.� Nope ... not one bit.� He was in the chair for less than a minute before he started crying and screaming.� They ended up pulling over a bigger chair so he could sit on my lap, and even then it was a struggle.
