Sunday Snapshots (of a new haircut)

Cutting hair is not one of my talents. After my last attempt to cut Elly’s bangs, I knew it was time to call in the professionals.

Elly spent the entire drive to the salon telling me that she did not need a haircut. At the salon, Elly cried when I tried to get her sit in the chair. So, she sat on my lap. Very little hair was actually cut off. Elly really just needed her hair to be shaped.

After the haircut was over, Elly spent the next few minutes telling me she didn’t like her hair.

All that changed when we got home and Daddy told her how beautiful she looked. Now she loves her new hairdo.

Elly’s hair was starting to get in her eyes. For the first time since she was born, Dan and I talked about getting her hair cut.

I said I would make an appointment for her. Dan asked why I didn’t cut it myself. I used to cut my sister’s hair all the time. Why not Elly’s?

So, I did. I made the smallest of trims across the front and the back. But I don’t think I’ll ever cut it again.

I cut it too short in the front!

And all the curl is gone from the back.

Yeah, we’re going to let the professionals cut Elly’s hair from now on.
