FIrst Haircut

Dear Abigail,

Today was a very special day, a day of many more just like it to come. Well, hopefully not just like it, but... Today you got your first haircut! Hooray!! Now your Uncle Jordan can quit making fun of your mullet and your Daddy can quit calling you Benjamin Franklin! Well, it wasn't JUST your Uncle Jordan, but he's the only one brave enough to do it on Facebook! Anyway, it's gone!! Hooray!! NOT that mullets are bad on everybody, just hooray YOU don't have one anymore!! HOORAY!!

After Kindermusik, we met Daddy for lunch, and then off we went to Miss Lori's. That's where Mommy gets her haircut, so I was confident she would do a good job on you. When we first got there, she was finishing up someone, so you just roamed around the salon, owning the place and captivating everyone's heart.

Here's a good before shot of the infamous mullet...

Oh how the fun came to a quick stop the second we sat in that chair. You knew something was going down and that it wasn't going to be fun. Miss Lori was being so sweet, talking to you about Kitty and saying how pretty your eyes were, but you weren't buying it. Mommy had to hold you in her lap. And then, when Miss Lori tried putting the cape thing on you (so you wouldn't get hair all over you), you lost it. When I say lost it, I mean it. It brought back memories of a month ago where I had to hold you down for shots. You ended up standing in my lap facing me, so I had to watch your big alligator tears and cries VERY close while Miss Lori chopped away. Now, it seemed like a lifetime, but in reality, this only took 2 minutes maybe! All she did was shorten the back, but boy does it make a difference!! I, of course, couldn't get any pictures while you were actually getting it cut, but here's an after shot...

Goodness you look precious!! After Miss Lori was done, you turned happy within seconds! So happy it was hard for Mommy to get a picture of you. You just were going going going... Once we got home, I tried again, but this is about all I could do...

Point is, you look fabulous Dah-ling!!! Let's just hope Daddy likes it when he gets home from work today...

Love you to pieces, mullets and all...
