Lucy's First Official Haircut

Lucy has beautiful, silky blonde hair. However, I've been in denial about cutting it for a long time. She had a trim when she was about six months old, but that's sort of a touchy topic. (Adam cut her hair without asking me & she looked like Scout from the movie, "To Kill a Mockingbird.") Ever since Adam cut her hair without my permission, I have not taken so much as a hair from her head. Well, it was definitely too straggly. Here are some BEFORE pics. This first one was taken at the salon: I don't have any actual pictures of the "cutting" because she sat on my lap the entire time, crying as if it was the worst torture in the world. It was close to lunch time so I came prepared. I had chicken nuggets, french fries, and soda with me. Every once in a while she'd take a bite of a french fry, or a sip of soda- and then she'd resume her sad cry. We were probably an interesting sight: Lucy sitting on my lap, with her hair all over us, and me shoving fast food in her mouth in between sobs. I'm a great mother, huh?

A lady named Julie cut her hair and she was lovely. She was patient, kind, gentle, and fast. Here they are after the cut. Lucy graciously gave her a hug:

I am very pleased! Her hair looks much fuller and thicker now. It's a new Lu.

she looks so cute! Haircuts can be so traumatic. One day she'll love them, maybe :).

I will never forget the haircut Adam gave Lucy...I know that was tough for you but it was so funny! I think it's a great memory, Lucy getting her first haircut from her daddy...

Wow - I love her long hair... but I love, love, love her haircut.

I was in denial about Rori's hair too. She finally just got a real cut herself. Why do we fear cutting their hair?? Mercer's was horrid for so long as baby - but I refused to acknowledge it!

That lady IS nice...we've had her before. She was telling me all about her lame boyfriend and how she wishes she had a nice husband like me.

And Lucy does look cute.

And a good mother is smart enough to bring all the good food to such a traumatic event!

Looks great. Emily's never had her hair cut either, and she's three and a half and long. She's got a lot of curl and I don't know what kind of haircut would be good with that. I need to get it cut soon, maybe nothing fancy, just shorter.

Seriously that hair of Lucy's is gorgeous- I would've had a hard time cutting it too!
