a rite of passage

Yep. After two episodes of l-i-c-e at CES and one at BB&N last year, and then one at BB&N camp, we fell prey to it. Now, don’t know if anyone knows Grace’s hair well, but she has my hair – which is to say, a ton of it. A TON. To the point where anyone who cuts her hair remarks on it, and when she slept over at James’s Elizabeth reported it took 3 adults to comb it out (perhaps because I never do so, so onerous is the task).
Needless to say, this isn’t the best kind of hair to face with the fine-toothed metal comb. Grace was a very good sport and sat and watched an hour of TV as I worked my way through her hair in tiny sections. It was slippery and slimy and so were my hands. It was kind of gross. Hopefully it’s now all gone.
Then I took Grace to get her hair cut, and it’s up by her chin now. Super short. Also am doing my sixth load of laundry out of about 12 to get all of her sheets, animals, clothes, and towels washed.
Just another day in paradise.
