First Haircut

A few days ago, Audrey got into the scissors. You know what that means, haircut time!! I've been trying to talk her into letting me cut it for awhile now, so I guess she just saw the scissors and wanted to do it by herself first (so Audrey). After she cut a little lock off the side (and not telling me, of course, until I found the hair on the ground in her room!) I tried to convince her again about the benefits of cutting her hair (making an even length now that she made it uneven, less tangly, grows faster and better...) but she wouldn't have it.

So last night after baths, I was combing her hair and she was getting upset about the tangles, so I tried again. I told her she wouldn't have that many tangles if she let me cut it. She said okay! Well I wasn't going to waste any time (even though I was in a hurry to get out the door to get some groceries) and grabbed the nearest scissors and started cutting. Jeromy barely had time to whip out his phone and take a pic. So there you have it, she finally got her first haircut! My mom will be so happy to hear that; she's been dying to cut Audrey's mullet off for ages!



Until yesterday, I had never cut any of my kids' hair! I don't know what it was, but it was really hard for me to let go of Audrey's hair. Probably because it took SUCH a long time to grow and partly because the ends are her baby hair:( You can't get rid of that! Plus, the girls in my family have cute little baby curls until their first haircut. So now I'm kind of in a predicament because she still has those baby soft curls on the sides because they weren't long enough to cut, but it's straight in the back. Plus she hardly has any hair in the front (anybody know what I can feed her to make her hair grow?) And don't even get me started on her many cowlicks!! Poor thing, I'm sorry I passed those on to you.

Here's Audrey showing off her new do. She is loving it!
