rex got his hair cut! it was getting pretty long...and was in his eyes a lot. but i wasn't ready to lose it all! so we found a cut that kept the curls, and got it out of his face. he was really great for the cut. we love ms. monica. before:  during:   after:   
i really like it i've been wanting to see how far rex would run if given the chance, b/c he has so. much. energy. we went to a track this morning...and i about had a FIT trying to find where to get IN to the track. we must've walked[rex running, of course] nearly a lap and a half or two just to find the open gate. then when we got in, he ran 4 full laps!!! so conservatively, he at least ran 1.25 miles..but i'm really thinking more like 1.5.  
there was a man out there...who could have been between 55-65, and it was in crazy shape. he was out doing sprints. he got a kick out of rex running, and rex thought they were racing. as he left the guy said, "see ya rex, great run today!" and rex laughed, shook his head and shook his finger and the guy and said, "you almost beat me man!!" the other day rex got up from nap a few times...and honestly just wasn't tired yet. but i wasn't going to let 'not napping' be fun, and decided if he was going to stay up he had to work. so i gave him little cleaning chores, including emptying the dryer and moving the clothes from the washer to the dryer. he had a chair so he could reach, but still couldn't get to the bottom. "mommy, you will have to finish this b/c i can't reach it..." but determined to keep him busy and 'working' i gave him some tongs to finish the job. it was pretty funny.   
i worked him for probably an hour or so[he kept sitting down to rest and i'd make him get up, HA]...then finally let him sit and he fell asleep on the couch minutes later. a few pictures from the library the other day...
