Second Haircut (In Two Years)
Well, Olivia’s birthday came and went recently, and with it, her second annual haircut.
The room was really more crowded that this picture shows. Along with mommy, daddy, Benjamin, [second?] cousin Evie, [second?] cousin Hope, [great?] Aunt Martha (the stylist), and Aunt Shannie, there was Gammy and Great Grandma Shuman. And possibly more.
Though the excitement (and the scissors, and the weird blue backwards cape-thing) scared her quite a bit, there was a Taco Bell Chihuahua dog to comfort her.
Hope was a great help, too.
But the best comfort of all to a toddler getting a hair cut? Scroll back up to the first picture. See the red bag in my hands? Those are Marshmallow Mateys. I highly recommend you bring a bag of those to the salon. Even if your toddler doesn’t come.
Because as soon as I started handing them out (the marshmallows, that is; she would have nothing to do with the puffs of grain), she morphed into this:
Look how calm, how obedient, how grown-up she looks!
Does hair grow faster in the third year of life? Will we have to increase our salon visits? Once a year was really working well for us.
Just to reminisce, let’s look at the very first haircut, shall we?
Wow.
