First Haircut

Saturday I decided it was time for Madie's first haircut. I was really nervous because sometimes she doesn't even let me near her with a comb. I scheduled an appointment at a family owned hair salon in Lee's Summit for Saturday morning. When we got there she didn't even want to take her coat off and she kept saying, "go bye-bye" and "go to the car". She didn't want to sit in the chair by herself, so I sat down and held her. I tried to bribe her with suckers, but she wanted nothing of it. I also brought our video camera along because she likes to sit and watch the videos, but even that wouldn't entice her. So we sat patiently and watched another woman get her hair cut, while her little boy came over and entertained Madison with an elephant. While she was distracted the woman first trimmed her bangs, and then we were able to shape up the back. By the end of our session she had warmed up to the place. They had some Legos to play with and she didn't want to leave! Afterwards we headed to the Toys R Us to pick up one more Xmas gift, and I treated her to a little Wall-E toy since she was so good. Here are a couple pictures at the salon, not the most flattering pictures of her, but at least her hair isn't in her face anymore! "Getting my hair cut was exhausting!!!"
