Catch up

So Lucy had her first haircut. In November. I'm a little behind, but I was trying to weed through some photos, and realized I had never posted these. I took her to a little place that specializes in children's cuts. I'll probably do it myself from now on, but I felt a need to make her first haircut significant...and spending money always makes things more significant, right?


I can't believe how ratty-looking her hair had become!



She was pretty content at first...



But then they whipped out the blow dryer. You've got to love the dramatics. Really though, for a place that specializes in kid's cuts, a blow dryer? For her wispy baby hair? Really? I'm guessing I could breathe on it for a few seconds and get the job done.



The result. Still a little traumatized, but far less ratty looking.

Couldn't they just whirl her around in the chair a few times? That should have dried it out just fine. I do love her bangs though. I forgot to tell you when I saw her last Saturday. It's just that they were eclipsed by your cute bangs.

I tried a blow dryer on Allison recently and she freaked too! I still haven't cut her hair since around 5 months old. But it's looking mighty ratty! Did you go for bangs or is the front still just short? I cannot decide about bangs.

SO cute though to see her little face, even in the sad ones. It will be a funny memory at some point. Especially when she is a teenager obsessed with her hair and looks. So fun to see her.

Is this at Cookie Cutters? We're thinking of taking Jack there this week. I agree, the first cut should be an event. Especially for Jack since he'll be losing his curls. I'm sad tocut them off, but it's really getting ratty now and too long.

We've got to cut Sara's this next month. You inspire me, mommy. I can do it too!
