2nd Haircut & Grandma's Visit

This past weekend Grandma Jan had an extra day off from work and so she decided to come up and spend some time with us! Clara was so happy to have her "GaGa," which she sometimes shortens to "Gog," come visit. We had beautiful weather and spent a lot of time outside at the park together. Scout's new favorite thing in the park is to find a flat surface and play kitchen with the wood chips. Last Friday she met up with her friend Christoph in the park and together (more parallel play they interactive) they made soup, carrots, cookies, ice cream and tea. Then Saturday, at a park in Bellevue she bee-lined past the swings (her previous favorite) right to the little counter area and picked up the with same game. Mom, Dad & Grandma all took our turn pretending that the wood chips she gave us were delicious culinary creations!

With Grandma in town and pictures a round of photos a week away, we decided it was time for a haircut. Clara's first haircut was just a trim at the end of the summer, but this time we decided to try a new style. Quite honestly, Mommy was more reluctant than I ever expected myself to be because hair cuts always make kiddos look so much older, but Grandma did a great job and while Clara does seem a little older with her new doo, it is pretty cute!
