Well a few weeks ago I noticed Sam's hair looking a tad V-shaped in the back and all scraggly. We are still letting her hair grow and fill in and have only cut it one other time when she was about 2 and a few months....So getting a haircut is a big deal for her. I wanted to make it fun Mommy and Sam time..So we were going to go one Saturday afternoon but she actually fell asleep during quiet time and took a long nap and didn't get up until 3:30 so we ran out the door around 4 and went to our little place we had been to last time and well wouldn't you know it they were not taking any more appointments for the day they closed at 5...well darn..I thought no biggie we will go tomorrow. Well Sam didn't like that answer since I had been talking about this hair cut all day...So off we went searching for another place. We tried looking for another place someone thought they saw...no dice couldn't find it...Also went looking for another new one but they weren't open for business yet. So on our way back to the Tollway I thought what the heck I will run in the place I got a haircut last time to see if they would do it...Again mind you it is 5 something on a Saturday evening..No dice no appts..One more place (our friend Kathryn (Sophie's mom)) told us about..We raced down there and luckily they were open until 6 and had plenty of appts. We waited while a family of 3 kids went before us and then Sam hoped into the chair like a pro..It was a kid friendly place but not over kiddie and they had a tv with Dora playing so Sam was a tad nervous at first then settled right in when she saw Dora..She loved getting her hair wetted down then trimmed, stayed really still, then got her hair blow dried with a big round brush (totally unnecessary but she liked it). then a lollipop and a necklace to top off the experience....All in all we might try that place again as she seemed to like it better (not as crazy) and it was $4 cheaper so I am all about saving money....
Here are a few pictures from that fun bonding time with Sam..... Heaven help us we were getting her hair cut that day (I was picturing it coming down to Mommy trimming it herself as Sam had her heart set on a haircut)...
Sam playing with the train set waiting for her haircut....Choooo chooooo!
Sams hair nice and wet getting cut...See she is so watching Dora..Not even paying attention to her Mommy trying to get her to look at the camera...
Here she is getting her hair blown out with a big round brush...Seriously her hair does not need that...It flips under perfectly on its own....
