First trip to the Beauty Parlor

Charlotte has needed a haircut for a while but I was putting it off.  I decided that we would have a "girls afternoon" after James was born and go and get her a haircut.  But around the beginning of August I realized that if I wanted her hair to still look cute and not too raggedy then I needed to go ahead and schedule it.  So we set up a "first haircut" appointment the afternoon of the first day of school (why not make the day as crazy as possible?!?!).

Charlotte was so excited about her haircut and kept talking about "going to get her hair cut" and her "first haircut."  That is, until I asked her if she was going to sit still while they cut her hair and then she started crying and shaking her head saying, "They can't cut my hair!"  Apparently the phrasing was important!

But by the time we got to the kids salon she was excited again and couldn't wait for her stylist to get her!

Charlotte chose the airplane chair (her Daddy is obviously rubbing off!) and got a pink, Hawaiian drape to wear.  She was excited at first, but quickly grew tired of sitting and asked me to "get her up".  But despite a little bit of drama she sat (relatively) still and let her hair get cut a tiny, tiny bit.  It really doesn't look very different just a tad shorter and a little more straight across.

She got a purple balloon as we left and was so proud of her "first haircut"!
