While the boys were gone on a father/son outing last Saturday, the girls and I had one of our own. NE got her first haircut! Can you believe an almost-three-year-old has never even gotten a trim? What's more amazing is that this almost-three-year-old has never taken scissors to her own hair! I haven't wanted to cut off all those curls just in case they never came back, but the beautician showed me how to tell that it's coming out curly at the roots. (In my defense, the hair isn't that curly. I'm sure I could tell all by myself that she still has natural curl if the curls were like a perm instead of big and soft and flowy...)
The hair salon has a little animal seat that reminds me of those old rides outside of grocery & department stores: straddle it, put a quarter in, and it goes back and forth. This one doesn't move, of course, but my girls were thrilled. Much more fun to ride a panda than sit in a chair that is too big. LL hopped right up. NE took her turn next after she saw that it was safe for LL. AM wasn't too sure if she was too grown up for the kiddy chair, and tried to stifle a smile. I was going to post pictures here, too, but can't seem to locate the cord to hook up the camera to the computer. Might just be that the almost-three-year-old has walked away with it...

Great post. Having something to distract the kids while getting their hair cut is great. We have had more than one kid whose hair got accidentally butchered when they just wouldn't sit still! (Grandma sometimes gets a little tired of all the wiggling.)
In a similar vein, Adria walked into the family room last week to see our youngest with a pair of scissors up to her bangs, saying, "Cut, cut, cut." Aack!Fortunately, Adria said, the little one didn't quite know how to get the scissors to work so we had a good laugh and counted our lucky stars that no hair was lost - or worse!
I feel the same way you do about not wanting to cut the curls. I am just in denial that Megan's hair is not coming back curly. Maybe they will come back to her someday, when she doesn't want them!
Hey Julie, you are amazing. Your blog looks awesome. Can't wait to see the haircuts. I would hate to cut off N's hair too. It is gorgeous.
