Clara's Hair Salon

Clara has owned and operated several hair salons over the years, and Trevor is always an eager and willing customer. His hair doesn't offer many styling options, but Clara somehow manages to create a new look every time.
Central to the styling is the use of numerous headbands, barrettes, and ponytail holders. A lot of water spritzing and brushing also goes on.
You may notice that both kids actually got real haircuts this week, and I've got to say that our local Great Clips might need to change their name to Crappy Clips. Clara and Trevor had so many wayward pieces of hair sticking out and hanging down that I've been chasing them around the house with scissors, trying to even things out. Luckily, neither child has reached the point of crying over spilt hair. It's only a matter of time with Clara, though...

On an unrelated note (no pun intended), Clara has learned the treble clef in a few short days, and can often be found sitting at the piano, singing, "C, D, E, F, G....G, F, E, D, C". Conveniently, this is the exact same melody as a favorite little ditty of ours,
"1, 2, 3, 4, 5, I caught a fish alive..."
This picture was taken more than an hour before it was time to leave for day camp. Clara was so excited about going that she already had her backpack on. Good thing she's signed up for another two weeks.
