First Haircut

Helen got her first haircut yesterday. It took her 20 months to get enough hair to cut, but it was finally time. I'm not sure how many other moms of little girls suffer from the "mullet" problem. If you think about it, little girls' hair needs to grow a little longer, but it is going to grow longest at the back before the sides. Hence the mullet.

We took her to a super cute kids place. She got to sit in a cool yellow car and watch an episode of Blues Clues. She got to play with a doll. None of this stopped her from screaming, but it probably helped keep the screaming to a minimum.

I was nervous that she would seem and/or look different after her big girl haircut. Thankfully she looks exactly the same, a little neater, and the mullet is a little less severe. Me-Me even bought her a cool pink headband to accent the new look. She is stylish.

They gave me some of her clippings to keep. Which was a nice touch, but sort of gross. I don't really plan on keeping things that were cut off of Helen...to me that's sort of in line with keeping those belly button stubs. Seriously, people do that.
