Kayla’s “Big Girl” haircut

So a couple of months ago I thought it might be a good idea to give Kayla a haircut before she started kindergarten. Her hair was almost down to her waist and was pretty much messy all of the time — she wouldn’t let me do anything cute with it (or barely even brush it!) So we took her to Zoopaloop for her first “real” haircut. She did fine — I was the one who had to try not to hyperventilate as they took the scissors to her 11-inch ponytail. But I love it! (and a funny little story — we decided to give her hair to Locks of Love. So I was explaining to her a few weeks before we cut her hair that we were going to send her hair to a place where they would make it into a wig for a little girl who is sick and doesn’t have any hair. She seemed fine with that until a week or so later, we were practicing her letters and talking about kindergarten and she said, “Mommy, I don’t want to go to kindergarten and cut my hair and wear a wig!” )  :)

So here are a few pictures from a little mini shoot we did to celebrate her new haircut. (and a couple of Kaden since for once in his life he wanted me to take some pictures of him.)
