A Little R and R: Reese's first hair cut!!!!!

Today was the day. I decided that it was time for Reese to have her hair cut. Her hair has grown in so uneven it really just looked shaggy. I started talking to her about it last night and she was just devastated by it. She kept saying that she wanted her hair and that she didn't want it cut. My friend, Vicki, said it best..."She was having flashbacks of being bald!" We did wait a long dang time for her to grow that hair. I had a hair appointment today and my stylist, Andrea, was sweet enough to trim Reese's hair. When we got to Level Spa Salon Reese really dug her heels in and wouldn't even go through the door! I finally got her in and she insisted that I get my hair cut first. So, I did. It was funny because when I was getting my hair shampooed I would take my hands and run it through her hair. She would put my hands back on the armrests and say "Mommy, keep your hands here. You need to be still, OK?" She did this a good 5-6 times. I just loved her doing it. When it was her turn she got scared again and I could feel her trembling in my arms. I just felt so bad for her! But, she was OK once I got her in the chair. Andrea got to work cutting her hair. It was just a minor trim and she really evened everything up and it just looks so fresh. Her hair actually curls more now! By the end of the visit Reese was giving everyone a hug bye!

I, of course, had my camera to capture the moment.

Watching her TV before Andrea was ready for us. I let her bring Elephant. I basically let her do whatever she wanted to this morning :)
