With her signature “Pebbles” hair-do growing so long it was covering her eyes, Meredith had been long overdue for her first hair cut for months.
Likewise, the twins’ hair was getting so long and unwieldy that it was becoming impossible to do anything with it that looked remotely cute. Something as easy as pigtails made them look pretty forlorn with their hair so ragged and I was cringing sending them to preschool looking like ragamuffins! With time in short supply, we finally squeezed all three in for a trim at the kid’s salon next to the girls’ dance class right after they were done one Saturday.
You woke me up from my nap for THIS???
Not cool, guys. Not cool.
You could have done this at home, mom.
Meredith didn’t quite know what to think of the whole experience at first, but by the time we got home, she was happy to show off her clean new cut. Within the past few weeks, it has grown rounded at the edges and looks like a cute bob!
Meredith’s first cut at 16 months old.
Amelia and Samantha’s first hair cut at 15 months was more stressful than Meredith’s since 50% of the pair (Samantha) was melting down on and off.
No tears this time! The girls were antsy during Meredith’s cut until the hair dresser’s kid let them play with a fidget spinner; those things really work!
Lots of love,
