Yes, it's true.
Mackenzee had her first haircut on Saturday morning. She is 2 years and 9 months old.
I haven't wanted to do it. I wanted her hair to grow long and luxurious and beautiful. Unfortunately, she inherited some crazy hair genes. :0) Jaysen's mom tells me that Mackenzee gets it from her cousin, Rachel. I don't know if this is true or not, what I do know is that it is very thin, and likes to turn into a rats nest in the back. I use LOTS of detangling spray after bath time. Besides this, her hair has grown in weird. So, she had one section in the back that was longer than the sides. For those of you that remember, when she was a baby she was bald on top and had hair growing on the back. Kind of like her grandpa's {by that I talking both of them}. :0) Anyway...because of this she ended up with wierd multiple lengths. Jaysen has asked me several times when we were going to do it and I always told him the same thing. NEVER! But the other day as I was combing out the tangles, I knew it was time. Kenzee hates to have her hair brushed because of the tangles, so I asked her if she thought we should cut her hair.
She looked at me like I was crazy. I think she thought it was going to hurt. :0) I assured her there would be no pain and told her that I would take her to a salon to have it done all pretty. The mention of the sucker they give to kiddos getting their hair cut was brought up as a bribe as well. :0) She told me that she didn't want to go to a salon. She wanted me to do it.
She has seen me cut Landon's hair before. So, I assume this was why she thought I had hair cutting abilities. But, I thought...how hard could it be? Just a straight line across the back right?
Did I forget that my daughter doesn't like to hold still? Sigh. I don't know how stylists do it. I bet they curse every time some mom comes in with her kid for their first hair cut. Seriously! Landon cried through his. I bet that lady hated me! :0)
Anyway...Kenzee has a new 'do. I'm not sure if anyone can tell or not as it was just an inch off the bottom, but I think she looks adorable.
I have now taken up the role of hair stylist amongst my many other job duties. :0) My mom did it for us when we were little too. I remember THE hair cutting scissors that were always kept in the bathroom. Maybe my little girl will have memories of ours. Yes, we've got our own special pair of black ones too. :0)
What do you think? I'm loving it! And she is having fun showing it off. :0)
