First haircut!

Abby will be 3 years old in April, and until today had never had her hair cut. We were waiting because it is so curly that when it is dry it shrinks up. Q also was against it for a while, until I explained to him that girls need to get their hair trimmed often to keep it healthy. Especially girls with curly hair because it helps so much to have those dead ends trimmed when you are trying to comb their hair in the morning. Detangler can only help so much! So today, we went to this cute place called Cartoon Cuts, which is a little salon especially for kids. They get to watch their favorite cartoons while they are getting their hair cut. Granted it only takes about 5 or 10 minutes, but it really helps ease the nerves. Abby did great. She was a little scared at first, and almost cried, but she was able to hold it together. I think that she was afraid that it was going to hurt, because we are always telling her to be careful with scissors- they can hurt. I told her that it doesn't hurt when you cut your hair, but she had to experience it for herself. Afterwards she was so proud of her haircut. Her hair was super-soft and she couldn't stop playing with it. She really loves her curls!
