On Saturday, we went for Madison’ first haircut. I got her dressed up for her special day and had prepped her for it for the past week. Her hair was just getting a little wispy, and I thought I cut might help. We went to Sweet and Sassy as recommended by friends of ours. Madison did a great job. She sat in the chair and laughed at the beginning, got a little spacey in the middle of it, and kept her head pretty still for the whole thing. She received a compliment from the beautician. The before and after is not drastic – not enough hair to be drastic – but she did get the back of the hair leveled out some. Those little curls are still there. I am thinking they could look super cute as they grow out. Right now, although cute, they make it look a little disheveled at all times.
Afterward, she walked out like a model on their runway… a little shy, a little excited, and super proud!
My plan was to take her out for an ice cream treat or something special afterwards. She found that “something special” on her own as we were leaving – The fountains at Polaris. I almost said no – after all, I had no swimsuit, no swim diaper, no towel, no sunscreen, no extra clothes, nothing to prepare me for this. But her enthusiasm won out, and I stripped her down to her diaper and let her run. It was well worth it…
I dried her off with the little underwear covers that some dresses come with and slid her dress back over her head. We headed to the bank to open a new account. She loves the bank – a sucker on every visit, and she got a coloring book this time with crayons to keep her busy. We got home, and she showed off her new (no longer styled) hair-do to her daddy and sister. And wanted to snuggle her sister. Ellie tolerated it briefly… even though she adores her big sister, she doesn’t adore being held by her.
