First Haircuts

Ok, I've never tried this before, so hoping it works....  My first animation.

Sunday we finally brought the kids for their first haircut....  I was unsure how they would handle it, because combing hair around here can sometimes be a nightmare.  Both of them have ALOT of hair.  Mikey's is so thick and curly, that the only time I can get a comb/brush through it is right after washing and conditioning.  Whenever we bring Mikey out in public, people always come up to us and comment about how beautiful his hair is.  I honestly don't think he's ever gone out with us, without someone coming over and touching his thick curly hair. 

We both didn't want to cut his hair, ...never even trimmed it.  Amazingly, Mike was more resistant to cutting his hair, than I.  But the time had come.  His hair when wet went to his mid-back, and in the past few months more than a few people have mistaken him for a girl.    I've never taken offense, but I suppose it's time for him to look like a boy again.... 

When we got to the hairdressers, I was having second thoughts.  I wanted to turn on my heel and run out of the salon.  Sammi sat in the chair first.  The hairdresser shaped Sammi's hair and put in some layers, it came out incredibly cute.  Sammi sat in that high chair and exclaimed, "I feel like a princess"....Too bad we didn't bring her wand, lol.   Then it was Mikey's turn.  He was a bit more unsure about the whole thing, but for being only two he did remarkably well.  A bit fidgety, but he managed to smile through most of it.  He had 2" taken off, yes, the curls STAY!  This Mom is  not ready for the close to the scalp, part on the side look.  Maybe by the time he's in kindergarten.....       

As you can see in the above animation, Sammi and Mikey's awesome adventure at the hairdressers went off without any tears, well, maybe one or two from Mom....
