Bangs, beach and being silly

Happy Father's Day to all the Dads! I hope everyone enjoyed celebrating Father's Day with their Hero! 

Speaking of heroes; I never thought cutting hair was a Dad duty, but it turns out it is one of many. At least for this Dad, who does a great job at this too! He came to my rescue again today. 

At 20 months old E got her VERY first hair cut. I finally worked up the courage to say goodbye to a few of her baby strands. Honestly, it was long over due. Putting her hair in pony tails was working up until last week when she started pulling the little rubber bands out of her hair. Yes, I tried head bands, bandanas and clips. She wanted nothing to do with those. I really didn't want to cut it but she was starting to really struggle with keeping the bangs out of her face and eyes. It was time. 

It took a few smarties for her to hold still.

Dad did a pretty good job. 

Why do I struggle so bad with cutting my little girl's hair? Is this one of those emotional connections Mommies have? I am seriously so attached to her little curls. But, if I have to admit it, her bangs look pretty cute. The best part, she can see now! 

The girls were so adorable today. They rolled around on the floor and play wrestled, tickling and squealing the whole time. I love when they are just being silly together. I'm so glad M connects with her lil' sis like this. It's so natural.

We made it to Grand Haven beach for the 2nd time this Summer. E couldn't get enough of the lake and kept chasing the waves and then running away from them. So, R and I took turns keeping her from washing away with the waves. Should I be surprised that M was in the water within minutes of arriving? Of course, she went under. Crazy kid! All though the beach was a bit windy and cut our beach trip short it was well worth the walk! 

All and all a great weekend! I am thankful to spend it with these 3. 

Til next time. Keep Loving.
