New Do's

Lily was in desperate need of a haircut. She will be 2 years old in 2 months and has NEVER had her haircut. Not even a trim. What you need to know about Lily is that she won't hold still, especially when I try to do her hair. This is definitely a problem when the hair dresser has scissors in her hand! Evan on the other hand is great at getting his hair cut. He holds perfectly still so I have never had to worry about where to get his haircut. Rob or I just take him wherever we are going to get our haircut.

So I decided to go to Cookie Cutters for Lily's wiggle sake. The kids pick out a movie and then pick out a car to sit in while getting their hair cut. Lily isn't a movie fan. Once again, she doesn't sit still long enough to watch even a few minutes of it. I picked a Dora movie since she really likes a Dora book from the library. Lily picked this pretty pink car to sit in and to my surprise she sat perfectly still! I don't know if Dora mesmerized her or driving the pink car was super entertaining or the whole experience was just so new. But all that matters is SHE SAT STILL!!Evan picked the dune buggy and watched Shark Tales. Of course he just sat there as the hair dresser cut away. Evan requested "sticking up" hair like his uncle Tyler. This is the shortest Evan has ever had his hair. He looks so grown up.After the big event, the kids got suckers and balloons as if driving a cool car and watching a movie weren't enough. Plus there is an indoor playground. A new haircut puts everyone in a good mood, even kids!Showing off the new do's. They both look so much older!Evan's fo-hawk. All day he kept asking me if it still looked like Tyler's hair and if it was still sticking up. I miss Lily's cute baby curls a bit because they made her look like a baby, but who can resist this cute bob? Truthfully, Lily's hair before the cut looked too much like a mullet so welcome to the year 2009, Lily!
