Isabella's First Haircut



On Saturday, July 25, we took Isabella to get her first haircut at a place that specializes in children's haircuts. We were impressed with the place...at first. They have little cars in which the kids sit for their haircuts, and each seat has a TV and DVD player so they can watch their favorite shows as a distraction. They even have video game systems that kids and Dads can play while they are waiting. Above are pictures of IJ getting ready.

The first sign of trouble was when the DVD player did not work. Elmo just froze. Then Isabella did not like her hair being squirted with water. That pretty much set her off. We tried a new chair, but that DVD player did not work either. The lady cutting IJ's hair was not a lot of help. The only weapon in her arsenal for dealing with an uncooperative child was to repeat, "She needs to sit still for me to cut her hair." You don't say! The resulting haircut is OK--maybe a little short. The haircut place has some promise, and we hope they improve their service quality. But, we will probably just take her to Nana.

We had to have Emelia's bangs cut at 9 months. My sister cut them while we were in Chattanooga but it was not easy! She is too cute in the chair though!
