First Haircut

Gracie needed her first haircut at least two months ago, and I kept trying to get up the nerve to do it myself. But I couldn't fathom how I was going to convince her to stay still enough for me to do it, nor what I would do if it turned out badly. So while we were in Utah, my Grammy suggested we have my step-cousin Alicia do it - a great idea!

So we went to Alicia's salon and she cut Gracie's hair, all while continuing to battle kidney stones - yikes!



Grace did a surprisingly good job of holding still.



It was just a little trim all over to even things out, so she still has her longer hair and curls in the back (what my sister calls "a mullet", but which I love).

Here she is shortly afterwards waiting to go to the zoo.



So thanks Alicia for saving Gracie and I from what most likely would have been a traumatic experience, and we hope you're feeling better now!
