First Haircut

Kate got her first haircut last Monday. I made her an appointment at The Hairy Elephant and Daddy planned to meet us there after work. She was SO excited all day. She kept talking about going to get her "hay-cut".

When we pulled up and saw Daddy waiting for us, she put her little fists up to her mouth like she does when she's excited.

We walked in and could just tell that Kate felt all "big". Her shyness kicked in right away, though. I don't think she spoke a word the whole time.

Notice the before picture. Yes, I know, we were in desperate need of a trim.

She first got to pick out the flavor of shampoo that "Miss Andrea" would use to wash her hair.

Then, it was off to the sink.

Then, she got to pick out a movie (BIG surprise... she picked Barney) and pick out the chair she would sit in (she picked a cute yellow car).

Watch her tongue in these pictures. The tongue AlWAYS comes out when she is feeling shy.

Let the cutting begin!!

Then, a little blow dry.

ALL DONE!!

Then, she got to pick out two butterfly clips (she picked pink, of course) and Miss Andrea gave her a cute little "do", which we didn't get a picture of.

They took her picture and put it on a certificate with a little locket of her hair.

We went back to Mimi and Papa's for our Monday routine. We walked in and she demanded that everyone "close eyes". When she was all ready, she said "Open!" and everyone just made a big fuss over her.

Little Miss is getting to be so grown up.

And, this little man will probably be getting his first haircut within the next month. Kidding... but man, that boy's got a lot of hair! See the mohawk in the back??
