Lily's First Haircut


Yes, I am aware that Lily turned 4 in March, but I didn't really think she needed a hair cut up until this point! I took her in May to get her hair cut, and she was dead set against it. She told me no way was she going to get up there and get her hair cut. She said it would hurt. We explained it would not hurt, but she still wouldn't go for it. So, I waited. I talked about haircuts around her, a lot, with all kinds of people, asking if they liked to get their hair cut, if it hurt. She heard all of the right answers, so I tried again. She was a completely different person! She went right in, got right up in the chair and was ready to for it. She sat there perfectly while they trimmed about 3/4 of an inch off and then she let them spray it, curl it and style it. She sat there nicely while they put a beautiful glitter heart on her cheek and she jumped right down and asked me, "mom, how do I look, did I take a good hair cut?" Why, yes you did Lily! She was most impressed with the sucker she got when she was done, that was the cherry on the top!
