Toddler Tuesday: First Haircut

On Monday, we took Eliza to Cookie Cutters, a specialty place for kids haircuts.  While I've been trimming up her bangs from time to time, as well as some long stragglers in the back once, Eliza had never had a "real" haircut.  We chose to go to a kids place so there was plenty of distraction.  She really liked the carousel horse, but ultimately, she sat in the little race car the spins (much more stability!).  Each chair also has a tv/dvd player and there is a wide selection of videos.  We went with a San Diego Zoo video narrated by animated animals.  It was a hit!  She sat mostly very still and did a great job.  The next time she needs an all-over haircut, we'll probably just take her to my salon--but we are glad we had this experience for the first time.

I'm not so sure about this!

She's thinking, "Don't block the TV!"

Can't tear her eyes away from the video to smile with Mommy!

It made me a little sad to see the length go away, but it will grow back and probably look nicer!  It looks very nice and we are happy.
