Rachel’s Haircut

These are pictures from a few weeks ago.  I took Rachel to Pigtails and Crewcuts for her first haircut.  We went after our Gymboree class, the hair salon is right next door.  It was kind of a last minute decision and I didn’t have my camera with me.  Luckily one of the other moms from Gymboree was there too and she always has her camera so she offered to take pictures and email them to me.  That was great, especially since I’ve been so terrible at taking pictures the last couple months.

I was really happy with the haircut.  I didn’t want to cut it but her bangs were so long they would get stuck to her mouth when she ate and she’s always pulling out her bows so her hair was in her eyes.

She got to sit in an airplane and eat animal crackers.

Here you can see just how long her bangs were.

She was such a good girl, no tears, and she even looked down when we asked her.  (Her brother was much more dramatic with his first haircut…and second…and third.)

Here she is, they did a great job with cleaning up her bangs and all the different lengths of hair.  But they didn’t cut too much and she didn’t have the straight across bangs.  In fact they cut so little there’s hardly enough to save for a lock of hair, just a tiny baggie with some clippings.

My baby girl is growing up, sigh…
