Gracie's Trim

Every few months, we have to face something that we both absolutely dread- trimming Gracie's bangs! Like we mentioned in a previous post, she doesn't like to sit still... Here are some things we've tried: letting her watch a movie (but then we get in her way), distracting her by letting her play at the table (but then she's always looking down); strapping her into her high chair (and she ends up trying to squirm her way out)... She would definitely wake up if we cut her hair while she was sleeping... It's such an ordeal.
Yesterday, some friends suggested that we give her a lollipop so that her focus would be on that. We're pretty much willing to try anything. Well, right before dinner today, we had her sit at the table and we both took turns with the scissors. It is so hard to get her bangs straight. We took so long that she ended up getting two lollipops! Anyway, for all the time and effort it took, maybe we should've trimmed more of it- it's going to grow back before we know it!
