The First Cut...


oh yes, we finally did it! bean got her first hair cut! ahhhhhhh! yeah, i know she is 25 months old but really she's never had a lot of hair, you know...

my sister did the honors- she has two girls and has always cut their hair so i wasn't worried. she turned on sesame street and gave her (and the cousins) a lollipop and then went to work with her scissors. bean was great! sat there relatively still and never once complained or got scared. it was a good time, believe it or not.

now, the delightful curl she always had... well yeah, that is gone. am i sad? a little, because now when i see her from behind i see a kid and not my little baby. i mean look at it.....
good grief! that could be a five year old's head i'm looking at!!!! HA! she's looking far too grown up at that angle! :)

i'm glad we waited this long though. bean actually asked if she could get her hair cut. she told us her hair was too long! she wanted it done enough that she cleaned her plate at lunch time because my sister said that she couldn't cut the hair of little girls who didn't finish their lunch. she did exactly what she was told. i was very impressed.

sadly daddy was not there. but when he found out how good she was he got her a special first hair cut prize (a stuffed hippo ballerina!).

oh and best of all, her cousin told her she looked very pretty! :)

Oooh, the big first haircut! Nadia will probably be at *least* 25 months before she gets one; at almost 21 months now, I'm not at all ready to cut it and lose those wonderful curls! That's great Bean did so well, and she looks so adorable with her little bob!

And so she does! What lovely pictures. I love her expression as she looks into the mirror (?). What a beautiful girl!
