First Haircut


Avery Reese's bangs have literally been in her eyes for a while now. But if she wore the many cute bows I have purchased for her, we would not have an issue with the extra long bangs. (Ok, she also may have had a mini mullet). I have taken it upon myself to trim her bangs a few times, but this has not been an easy or fun task for anyone in the family. It typically takes at least two of us: me to do the actual trimming and someone else to entertain Avery Reese. If you have spent any amount of time with Avery Reese you would understand the forces of nature it requires to keep her seated and still for any amount of time.


So there is this adorable salon near my office who specialize with children, Pigtails and Crewcuts. Brad joined me yesterday afternoon because we were not sure how this event was going to go down. As we entered the salon, Avery Reese clung to Brad with all her might, while I was once again distracted by all the pretty bows. Avery Reese was reluctant to sit in the cool police car chair, but once the stylist offered her some animal crackers, she was cool. And the cutting began.


Avery Reese did amazing, she enjoyed her snack and the cute girl looking back at her in the mirror. The haircut was over before it began.....those women are amazing!

Before the haircut....oh yeah, she has a black eye in these photos (school bully)

Trimming away the mini mullet

I can see, Mommy!

Finished product....I couldn't resist buying a new bow.
