who likes to party?
so, grace didn't quite make it to midnight...
but raegan partied all night long...
and we rocked out with rock band...
a new year's eve adventure
ok, so grace has been inspired. by her lovely cousin aurora. a few days ago, aurora cut her hair. it came as a surprise to all of us since aurorita loves her long beautiful hair. we showed grace the pictures, and grace loved it as well. for the past few weeks, i have been contemplating cutting grace's hair short, above her shoulders. after aurora took the plunge, grace said she wanted her hair cut like aurora's. jackpot... off we went to get it cut. (i'm not as talented as rachel who cut aurora's hair herself).
so, we are driving to get it cut and grace is so excited. we enter the salon and she begins her haircut. i discussed with the stylist that i wanted it to be a short little bob just above her shoulders. she suggested that we stack it a little in the back and make it a little longer in the front. i agreed thinking this would be a good style for grace. as the hair started to fall away, i could tell that grace was getting a little sad. when the stylist finished, i thought her hair looked beautiful, but as we walked out to the car, the tears started to fall. grace was hysterical by the time we actually got to the car and her main concern was that her hair was never going to grow again. i tried to soothe her and let her know that her hair would definitely grow back and next time she got her hair cut she didn't have to get it cut so short. i called home and alerted everyone that grace was quite sad about how short it was (and it was shorter than i had anticipated) and told them not to mention how short it was, just how cute she looked.
after several hours of convincing her that she looked so beautiful, she finally started to like her haircut. and today she told me that she doesn't want to have long hair, she just wants to keep it short! my how the tables have turned.
