Kate's first haircut

At our house, I'm the hairdresser for me and for Drew.  We head down into the basement and get a haircut about every month or couple weeks.  It works well, especially since Drew likes his hair cut similarly to mine.  Every once in a while Kate wants her hair cut, so I've taken out my scissors and evened things out a bit.  However, my skills are pretty limited and when it came time for her first official haircut, Jana took Kate out to get it done.

In the picture below, we tried to get a shot of Kate pre-haircut.  She wanted none of it!
Look at those shoulders all scrunched up in this picture!  While excited about the haircut, she was not feeling it for having her picture taken.
Jana and Kate went on their own to the "beauty salon" (that's what Kate calls it).  She was pretty thrilled to be there.
The rest of these pictures probably tell the story as well as I can do it, especially since I wasn't there.  Jana and Kate went to a woman we know, who had a child in our daycare.  We asked for a very light trim into a cute bob (Kate's hair wasn't THAT long).  We're thrilled with the results and that Kate loved the experience!



She didn't smile much, but Kate did do a great job sitting still and she enjoyed her experience.  Her hair continues to get longer and thicker . . . it will be fun to see what we're able to do in the future with Kate's hair.  This whole girl hair thing is totally new to me coming from a family of boys!
