First Official Haircut

Monday after work, I picked Claudia up and took her to get her first official haircut. Last year my Mom trimmed her bangs one time just because they were always in her face, and she would not wear a bow or barretts to keep them out of her eyes. I didn't really like the way she looked with bangs so I decided she was going to have to learn to wear the bow...after about a week of putting it in her hair, she got use to it, and that was that...she wears a bow everyday now!

I was nervous about cutting her hair in the back because she has the cutest curls, and I was afraid they wouldn't be there after we cut her hair. The other day I was looking at her hair, and I knew it was time...the ends were starting to look stringy, and well just plain bad! So I decided this week was the week, especially since we are having family photos taken on Sunday. I have always heard the horror stories of how kids act when you take them to get their hair cut...it seemed to be a terrifying event for them. So my plan was to tell Claudia how fun it was going to be and all...anything to hype it up and make it not seem like a bad thing. Well it worked because Claudia did fantastic! She never cried or wined! She sat there in the chair like a big girl! She even talked to the stylist...it was like she knew you are suppose to gossip with the stylist as you sit there...lol! We couldn't have been more proud of her and the way she acted!

I forgot to take an after picture...I was so happy with how she reacted to the experience, it slipped my mind, but she looks really cute! We just had the stylist take about an inch off to even Claudia's hair out and make it look more healthy! Again, we were super proud of her!!! Sometimes we can't believe how big she has gotten!!
