Ashtyn's first haircut

I wish I had pictures of the event itself, but it's kind of hard to get pictures of Ashtyn when she's sitting on your lap. Bruce wasn't able to go, so it was just me and her and Leslie (my new TN hairdresser) to get the job done.

No screaming thankfully, just a lot of wriggling and a little whining. I took a Blow-Pop for Leslie to give Ashtyn which sort of helped calm her down and make a friend out of Leslie. But she still had to set on my lap, facing me, before we could convince her to let Leslie even comb her hair. I think her favorite part was getting the hair "blown" off her shirt. Ashtyn got a little distressed when she first noticed the hair falling on her shirt, so Leslie grabbed the blow drier and took care of that. When she was done, Ashtyn chimed in quickly "Thank you!" So it was snip a minute, blow a minute, snip a minute, blow a minute. Hey - it worked!!!

I don't think we can do pigtails any more. Boo. Leslie layered Ashtyn's hair which just made it lighter and fuller so it's shorter, but the curls are back!!! Here's a few pictures after her bath.


Ok... you can tell I'm a first time parent. I just blogged about my two-year old's haircut. I was just so excited because she finally has enough hair to cut! And the fact that it turned out great!!! Except for loosing the pigtails. Boo.
