Short Hair

Kaitlyn Joy finally got her hair cut. She has been sucking and rubbing her hair between her fingers until it's a nasty matted mess. I kept telling her if she didn't stop I would have her hair cut short. I don't think she believed me.

Normally we talk about a hair cut for 2-4 weeks before she gets it. She had from the time I checked her in till they called her back to process it was about to disappear. 

I should have taken a before picture. You'll have to settle for the photo I took of her this evening. She was modeling her jog-a-thon shirt from K3 or preschool for three year olds. On that note, her still fitting in the shirt may make her sound small, but she's right around 54". You know what they say, "Everything's bigger in Texas."

 

She likes her hair long, but she has warmed right up to having it short.

Hair Today Gone Tomorrow

It was time for Kaitlyn to get another haircut. Her hair isn't that long so I've been debating whacking it off again. We've enjoyed watching it spill down her back when we wash her hair. However, I've noticed it is really thin and several different layers. After reading this http://www.jbrooke7.typepad.com/ blog today I decided to whack off her hair. I'm wondering how long it will take Neal to notice her hair stops just below her hairline. Hopefully he won't be to disappointed and her hair will grow quickly. If anyone has tips on how to get a toddler to sit still while you try to cut their hair straight I would love to hear them. I gave her a cheese and cracker sandwich, but that didn't help so I handed her a toy which really didn't help either. I finally put her in the tub and got her hair wet hoping I could see were it needed to be trimmed to even it up, but she moved to much. I gave up. I figured I can try again later. I'm just hoping it's not noticeably uneven.
