First Haircut

Emerson has never had a haircut. I was always really reluctant to cut a babies hair, and we were able to manage it with barrettes. But I had to admit that she isn't really a baby anymore and her hair was long and always in her eyes. Plus, we were informed in a very nice way that baby school didn't want her to wear barrettes to school anymore, as they were too tempting for her friends who were putting them in their mouths. And every morning, Emerson looked like she as being raised by wolves...her hair was so crazy. So off we went to Kool Kuts 4 Kids to get her hair cut with her new best friend in tow.

Emerson got to sit in the fire engine chair and watch Blues Clues. We were expecting a meltdown, but Emerson was as cool as a cucumber. Not one big lip, not one tear. She actually had a great time. She was driving the fire engine and watching her show and was as happy as could be. Which made me very proud, as there were lots of meltdowns taking place around her.

This is the "after". She has a little bangs so the hair won't be in her eyes anymore and the rest is just shaped a little to bring out her curls. We think she looks adorable. The salon had a little keepsake card that has an "after" Polaroid and some of her hair, which was nice touch.
