A Hair Raising Good Time

With the first day of school rapidly approaching, Olivia in need of a first hair cut, and mommy in dire need of some love for her locks, we called on Miss Sonya to rescue us! Lucky for us, she made a much needed house call!


So excited and a little nervous...Lexie didn't want too much hair cut off since she "really likes long hair"!

Lexie sat very still for Miss Sonya!
Ta-da!!!! Her first hair cut is complete!
She LOVED Miss Sonya...and her clips!!!
Thanks again Sonya for making us look beautiful!!

Snip-Snip

I finally took Lexie to get her first haircut today! I have to admit I was a bit nervous...but for NO REASON!!! She has never acted out or shown any signs of stranger anxiety so I don't know why I had a little bit of a knot in my stomach. I wanted to get there a little early in hopes that there would be other kids getting their hair cut. I took her to a salon called Little Snips. It was PERFECT! The people were so incredibly nice and the decor was very kid friendly! Like always, Little Miss just took it all in. Soon it was her turn and she was READY TO GO! They have adorable chairs for the little ones to sit in...and she went straight for the taxi cab! Once she was buckled in, she was allllll about getting pampered! We may have created a monster! She sat there and enjoyed every second of it. She watched Elmo, leafed through a book, and "drove" the taxi! (be sure to check our the video at the bottom of the page...click on the little arrow to make it play!!!)

Here she is...ready for the first cut!!

Hair today...gone tomorrow?

We have been waiting and waiting to take Lexie to get her first haircut! Ever since Debbie shared with us the old wives tale about cutting your child's hair before their first birthday, we have been hesitant to do so...(your child will have a speech problem if you cut their hair before their first birthday) though neither Russ nor I had ever heard such a thing. She probably could have used a good trim months ago!!! Nini and GG have both commented about her needing a trim, but I KNOW it is time since Russ actually commented about it just this week! (Russ who doesn't say anything about that 'kind of stuff' actually said "so are we ever going to cut Lexie's hair...it is out of control"...or something to that effect!!!!)
