Lily's First Hair Cut

Today we finally got your hair cut! We have being saying for about a year now that we needed to go get it cut, but Mommy has been having some trepidation about getting those beautiful curls cut off! Your hair only curls at the ends, and it's so pretty...I didn't want to lose those! But at 3, it needed to finally be done!

You were so exited you we getting it cut! You told everyone at little gym this morning what we were doing, and announced it to strangers at Breugers. You practically skipped into the salon (called Cuts for Peanuts)

First a couple of before shots of you rag-a-muffin hair:


Long wavy (messy) curls

Our hair dresser, Karen, let you pick out what you wanted to sit in, and you picked the fire engine!


She got you set up in it and got started on putting your hair in a little pony tail so she could cut of the first lock for me to save for your baby book.



First cut!

Showing you your first curl


And then down to business making that hair of yours beautiful!



You were so good and stayed still the whole time, and listened to her directions on which way to look! I was very proud you weren't the wiggle worm I was expecting!




All done! It was really quick! The whole cut probably took only 5 minutes! Taking a quick peak in the mirror while Karen was getting some hair ties!


Letting you pick out a hair tie. You picked a sparkly pink one!


Putting your bangs up in a cute side pony tail


The big reveal! Don't you look beautiful!


You were very pleased with your new do!

After you were all done, Karen let you pick out a prize for being so good! You picked a green apple lollipop!

You were very excited about it!


Outside Mommy of course wanted to take some photo's of your new hair cut...and of course you were not cooperating!


This is what you did when I asked you to smile like a princess:



I'm so glad we finally got you beautiful hair cut! The experience with Karen was great, and your new hair do is beautiful! I'm glad you had so much fun with it too! Now I just wait to see if your beautiful curls come back!
