Haircut!!

Well, I guess every kid has a haircut at some point, right?! It really had nothing to do with the fact that I was sad to cut her hair, or that I didn't want to...her hair just hasn't needed a cut! The back seems to get shorter and shorter as she grows because those curls get tighter and tighter! But the front, which hasn't gotten the memo that it's supposed to start curling up, was always in her face and eyes. (We'll call it a "curl-et" - business up front, party in the back!) So, why not shape it up a little?!

Our dear friend Amy was the perfect person to cut Siena's hair. Amy and Siena have a sweet connection. Siena loves Amy. Probably because Amy is AMAZING and she gives Siena attention and love and hugs and kisses - very intentional time. I love to watch the two of them together. I love Amy!

So for about a week, I have been talking to Siena about going to see Ms. Amy and getting a haircut! She was all about it. She marched right into the salon and asked for Amy (as Matt and I trail in behind her). She was ready. She sat on her little booster, got the cute cape, and there she sat. I'd be lying if I said she sat still for more than 5 seconds, but I guess that's why Amy cuts her hair and not me. If I was given that task, Siena would be bald right now.

Siena liked to look at us all in the mirror. And away she went, snip snip! Amy didn't cut too much or do anything drastic. Just a nice frame and layer around her sweet little face. And that was that! Siena's very first haircut!

The crazy "before" picture:
Down to business...






This picture makes me laugh because of my facial expression. There is absolutely no reason to have that face - nothing happened, really! Maybe it's just that I'm so excited...?
The finished product. So sweet.

If Siena was typing, she'd probably tell you the best part for her was what came next...the lollipop! She picked out one for her (a pink one, of course), one for me, one for Matt, and one for Laci. That was not prepped - my daughter just knows that I have a sweet tooth and would probably love a lollipop too! She's so smart...

The only thing left - a happy dance! Wouldn't any girl? A cute haircut, a lollipop, and center stage?! Why not...

Ending the dance with a little Michael Jackson. :)

Amy - thank you so much for cutting Siena's hair! But more than that, thank you for your sweet words, your hugs, your thoughtfulness, and your example. It's no wonder Siena loves you...it's impossible not to. :)
