I had promised the trio an ice cream celebration after the first day of school, but when some minor anxiety presented over the weekend, Skip loaded everyone in the car for ice cream. That indulgence puts smiles on everybody's faces.
After ice cream, we decided to get a much needed trim for William George -- his first hair cut! After his sisters sat in the chair for their trims, he was willing to take the seat of honor and hold (somewhat) still for a trim.
Grace had her Jennifer Aniston-like mane trimmed as well. Remember when Grace barely had hair for the first three years of her life? Now she has long, flowing, straight hair.
Lauren decided she wanted her hair cut in a bob, like Kit Kittredge. She has been requesting that style for about a month, and we have had lengthy discussions about the waviness of her hair and how her hair texture will not be conducive to that particular style. Since we were rehashing this discussion the whole time she was in the chair, there are no photos. She was happy with her finished product, with a length approximately three inches shorter. (Grace lost about four inches.)
After those all-important errands, we returned home for their celebratory spaghetti dinner.
Now they have two full days of school under their belts, and they are loving first grade. Gracie decided at the end of Kindergarten that she wants to be simply "Grace," and we are working on her more mature-sounding name. New grade... new hair... it's a whole new day!
