Julia's First Haircut

These aren't in the right order because
I'm dumb, but this was towards the end
of the cut.

waiting.

What a little doll! She's so pretty.


Okay, I know that sounds weird because she is 4 years old. But it is true, Julia has never had a real haircut! I have always just trimmed the back. But recently it has started getting really scraggly, especially in the front, and she won't sit still for me to trim it anymore. We're also growing her bangs out which complicates it for me. So I decided we should get it cut. I talked about it with her a lot before I made the appointment to make sure she was okay with it, and she was surprisingly excited right from the beginning. When we got to the salon, we watched the girl who was going to cut Julia's (she also cuts mine) cut a man's hair and talked about how still he was sitting and so forth. Well, Julia jumped right on into the chair and went for it! She never got upset or nervous or anything and after the first snip she said she thought it looked better! It was very cute, and I think her hair looks awesome! We will probably let it grow back out now but it is healthy and off to a good start. Matt really liked it but it is a little strange because she looks so grown up. It's hard to accept your baby growing up. But I guess that's life! She's our special, sweet girl and we're so proud of her.
