1st Haircut.

It took two years and almost four months for Mallory to get enough hair to get her first haircut!  Her hair is still really thin but it was getting long enough that it desperately needed to be evened and shaped up in the back. 

As I have learned since becoming a mama, nothing goes as planned when a child is involved so it was an experience.  My plans were to pick Mallory up from Mema's and go straight to the hair salon where she would sit pretty in the chair and I would take lots of pictures.  Big fail.  When I got to Mema's house, Mallory was still napping.  This hasn't happened in....ever.  So of course, the one day where we have somewhere to rush to, she is asleep and in NO mood to wake up or leave her bed at Mema's house.  She cried the entire way to the hair salon, which is about a 25 minute drive.  The whole time, she was saying 'I don't want my hair cut, I'm not getting my hair cut' along with yelling out a few 'NO's' here and there.  I almost called and cancelled the appointment but I desperately needed my eyebrows waxed, ha.  I stop before we get there and get her a juice and a snack and this seems to ease her off a little.  At least she had quit crying by the time we walked in, but she was still refusing to get her hair cut.  I got in the chair first and just got my bangs trimmed a little and she textured my hair a little and Mallory stood and watched.  She seemed to be warming up to the idea, but when it was her turn and Lindsay told her she was going to get her 'special seat', she freaked again.  So...I ended up holding her in my arms while she got her hair cut. 

Which means...I have zero pictures from my little girl's first haircut :(  We did save the hair though so I guess that is the most important thing.  Afterwards, she was tickled to death, in the best mood and even had to call daddy as soon as we got in the car to tell him she got her hair cut. 

That's life with a 2 year old!
