Mom and I go to get our hair cut together every couple of months and have for as long as I can remember.  It is something we both look forward to- we always have so much fun.  On Saturday, we made hair appointments at our favorite salon in Atlanta and I nervously agreed to let Baby G stay with his Daddy for the first time… and as I was walking out the door… FAIL…

I couldn’t leave him.  Don’t get me wrong- this had NOTHING to do with not trusting Ian to take care of him- Ian is just as over-protective of our little man as I am, I just couldn’t imagine being away from him for a couple of hours. (I blamed my change of heart on not having the car seat base installed in Ian’s car).  So… off we went to get our hair done- Grandma, Mommy and Grae.  🙂 After our hair appointments, we went shopping in some cute little boutiques, then went out for a delish dinner- and Grae didn’t cry once!  It was the longest time we have had him out and about- 6 1/2 hours- and he was just as happy as could be the whole time! My mom kept telling me that she could have NEVER done that with me when I was an infant.  I’m so proud of my little guy- and thankful beyond words he is so easy to take care of.  I don’t know how we got so lucky.

G's first time at the hair salon 🙂 We got lots of comments on his red hair 🙂 🙂

And to make this perfect day even more amazing- my mom spent the night and took care of Grae so Ian and I could get a full night’s rest.  We woke up feeling like brand new people.  Both of us had forgotten what sleep felt like.

Thank you so much for everything, Mom.  Grae had a great time at his slumber party with his Grandma 🙂 🙂
