On Friday, October 26th my dear friend Courtney cut Kaitlyn's hair for the FIRST time! Kaitlyn was a little nervous at first and absolutely refused to sit in the chair by herself. Earlier that morning, we took a trip to the pediatrician's office for an examination. I suspected that Kaitlyn had an ear infection, which after an assessment from the doc proved to be true. Kaitlyn is not a fan of going to see Dr. Wheeler and really did not like Dr. Wheeler checking her ears or for that matter even touching her. Because of this, I figured Kaitlyn would be a little apprehensive of Courtney. Thankfully, once Kaitlyn realized she was safe on my lap she was perfect! She sat and watched Courtney cut her hair with little to no movement the entire time. Since Kaitlyn was sitting on my lap, I offered my camera to Grace. She excitedly accepted the challenge to take pictures of her little sisters first hair cut. The pictures posted below are taken from Grace's perspective and view point.
Above is a before the hair cut picture of Kaitlyn (mommy took this one) Can you see in her eyes that she is a little unsure? Maybe the Paci and Blankie give it away!
Kaitlyn doing okay on mommy's lap as Courtney cuts her hair. Having big sister Grace around helped too!
I added this one just because it is funny! There are several pictures like this. Grace sure had fun taking pictures for mommy.
Kaitlyn showing off her new hair cut! She looks so much older now! Before the hair cut, Kaitlyn's sweet eyes were always covered with her long bangs. Not anymore. Thanks Courtney! Once Kaitlyn was finished with her hair cut, Grace and mommy took turns getting their hair cut. What a fun day!
Thursday, October 18 was Grace's FIRST night of gymnastics! She was SO excited to learn how to perfect her cartwheel and hoped to learn how to do a "crab walk". Actually, the entire family was excited to see Grace at gymnastics. Mommy, Daddy, and Kaitlyn all went along to watch our little gymnast. At the end of her class, we all greeted Grace at the gym entrance. She ran out all smiles and exclaimed " I wish it was LONGER! Can I come Back TOMORROW?" Kaitlyn LOVED watching big sister. She would often yell "Grraace" from the balcony (where we were watching).
Above is a picture of Grace attentively listening to her teacher (also named Grace).

Somersault time on the bar. By the third time she was doing this task all by herself!
Grace preparing to use the rings. Last night was a success! Even though Grace didn't learn how to do a "crab walk", she is anxiously waiting for next Thursday when she gets to go back!
