Willow's world keeps expanding, and Monday was a big day for her. Willow and I ventured to Franklin, Tenn., to pick up Cherish and head to our six-month cleaning at the dentist (no cavities!). I went first while Che and Willow played in the lobby, then when Che went back for her cleaning, Willow and I headed to a nearby park, Aspen Grove Park near Cool Springs Galleria. Aspen Grove Park is tucked among all the shopping in the area, and it has a small playground and trail (it also has a brick fireplace for grilling!). We took a short walk then met up with Che at the playground for some sliding fun (Willow tried to eat some of the rubber mulch too!). There was no swinging because the park lacked swings ... odd, huh? We then drove up to Goodlettsville for a family haircut adventure. Willow had her first professional trim, and she seemed to enjoy the experience, sitting in Che's lap contemplating the kid in the mirror. The hair stylists got a good cackle in when Willow broke out...
