This weekend we took Madeline for her very first haircut. Our girls don't grow all that much hair before their second birthdays, it seems, so I'm always reluctant to cut it. But Madeline's hair had gotten a bit scraggly, and since she won't keep anything in it for more than a moment, cutting it seemed the only option.

I had thought briefly about trying to cut Madeline's hair myself. While we were visiting Nan and Grandpa I trimmed up Kathleen's hair, and I've been mostly happy with that decision. But it was a stressful process for me -- halfway through I nearly stopped, frustrated that I'd ever begun cutting. I'm a perfectionist. And trimming up a wiggling three-year-old with superfine hair is not a good project for a perfectionist. I can only imagine that a wiggling eighteen month old would be even more challenging!
So we did a bit of research online about where to have Madeline's hair cut, settling on a children's salon about twenty minutes from our home. We were quite happy with our choice. The stylist was sweet and patient; Madeline loved sitting in the little car and watching TV while her hair was trimmed. She spent most of the appointment looking rather serious, but when I pulled out the camera, she put on a big smile!

And we think the results were pretty darling! (Of course, we'd probably think that no matter what!)

She's a beautiful little girl! Joe and I keep wondering when and if we should trim Emma's hair. I wasn't sure. Now I wont be so hesitant if we decide to. Hope you are feeling well!
