First Haircut!

Today, at the ripe old age of (almost) 41/2 years-old, Lillian had her first haircut. I have been snipping away at it for awhile but knew it needed a real cut. Everytime I approached the topic, Lillian was against it. But her best friend recently got her haircut and one day this week while trying to brush her hair, Lillian said she was tired of all the knots in her hair. I asked her is she wanted her hair cut, she said yes! So I quickly called our hair lady, Miss Gail, and she was able to squeeze Lillian in this morning.

This morning, before the cut:

I really thought Lillian would balk as soon as we hit the door but she didn't. She was all smiles heading to the wash basin. It took a bit of configuring to get her neck in the correct position but we got it and all went well. Even Miss Gail was impressed at how well Lillian was doing because she has seen the Lillian terror at times!

About 2 inches was cut from the bottom and a light layer was put in the back. Miss Gail blow dried Lillian's hair and even put some cute pins in it but Lillian quickly took the pins out. All in all, not much different from before, which is a good thing. Hopefully it will make it easier to brush and comb. Miss Gail gave Lillian a piece of gum and Mr. Rick gave her a huge lollipop.
