Emma's Haircut

We took the plunge! Emma has been asking to get her hair cut for a couple of weeks, starting for the first time when Aaron pulled her hair and then asking again when the wind would blow her hair into her face.

In order to make sure she really wanted it done, I bought a super-cheap doll with long hair and then the two of us proceeded to give the doll a haircut. She thought it was awesome, and still wanted to do it. So we talked and talked and talked it over, and I caved. She's never had the back of her hair cut since she was a baby.



We first took her to Cookie Cutters, which is a kid's haircut place, but they were booked with appointments and couldn't fit us in. The next place was too busy. At this point I was ready to give up, but we had built her up with anticipation and she really wanted it done, so we tried one last place. They could take her right away, so she hopped in the chair and did really well. She listened to the lady and never once fussed, and she LOVES her new hair. Absolutely loves it. And I love it too.

 
 


We only got 8 inches, which is too short for Locks of Love, but it was long enough for the Pantene donation, so we sent it off last week. She was excited to know her hair will help another person.
