Emily's First Haircut

I've been putting off getting Em's haircut because I was so afraid it would make her look older and quite frankly because it took her so long to get her hair to grow in, I haven't felt the need yet.    But I decided it was finally time to get it all straightened out at the bottom. 

We had an appointment at Groovy Cuts for Kids at 10:15 yesterday.  We had to wait about 10 minutes which was plenty long with an impatient 2 year old.  Once it was our turn, Em got to choose whichever car she wanted to sit in.  She choose the yellow hummer over the pink and purple barbie jeep.  The hairdresser tried to put an apron on Em and she started crying, so I told her not to worry about it.  Em wasn't really interested in the haircut at all.  She wanted to watch the tv's in front of her, only not the one directly in front of her car.  She also kept putting her hands in her hair, tried to stand up, put her feet up, etc.  Let's just say it was the quickest haircut I've ever seen. But I was totally ok with that.  The lady just trimmed it in order to get it all straight in the back.  A special perk for all the little girls at this place, is that after their haircut, they can get their nails painted.  I let Em choose the color, silver sparkles, and I'm pretty sure she sat more still for her nails being painted, then for her hair being cut.  I think Em was most excited for the sucker and balloon she got at the very end though.  So her first haircut was about what I expected.  Hopefully by the time we have to go back, Em will be a little bit more excited about it.  :)
