First Hair Cut!

Loralai's bangs had been falling into her eyes lately, and she was constantly having to brush it to the side with her hands, so I decided that even though her hair has not yet fully grown in evenly in all areas, she could use a little trim anyway.

Now Loralai does NOT like having her hair brushed or invaded with any sort of clips or pony tails, so I was worried about how she would react to having her hair trimmed, and she blew me out of the water with pride because she was amazing! She did not cry or squirm too much, now to be fair I did take her to a child hairdresser that was fitted with fancy seats, Treehouse playing on three flat screen tv's, and a free lollipop and boat ride to finish off the appointment, but she was still wonderful! She even let (albeit unknowingly) the hairdresser put in a ponytail and clip!!

The hairdresser was very sweet with her, and had tricks to keep her looking down when she needed to trim the back. They also took a picture of her to take home, a certificate, and a little bag with her hair inside to commemorate her first haircut! What a great first haircut experience!

Active Tots Gymnastics


So for a few weeks now we have started taking Loralai to an active tots gymnastics class, and honestly Loralai could not have any more fun for 30 minutes!! They run, play, gym, tumble, walk across balance beams, crawl under and over, roll, and of course Loralai's favourite ride in the car!! lol. It is really the perfect program for busy tots in the winter!

So every Saturday morning starting at 9:30am we travel to the YMCA and take part in the active tot class, have a light snack, and then it's off to get ready for swimming lessons! It is a fun way to kick start the weekend with her!
