Remember our little discussion<\/a> nearly a year ago now…what to do with Ad’s hair? I held out as long as I could. I really did listen when people told me “don’t cut her hair, it is beautiful, she’ll lose all her curls!”<\/p>\n

But after fighting for the past three weeks with a crabby 2-year old and clearly not<\/b> winning the battle, I mean…look at the dread-locked, baby mullet, hairdo she had going on –<\/p>\n

Detangler wasn’t working any more, and the back was getting too long and heavy, it was actually pulling her curls out! And it just looked really frightful.<\/p>\n

So, we took Ad for her first haircut on Saturday. I was going to pick this photo for my BSM because I love the expression so much.<\/p>\n

She actually did really, really well. Of course she is just sitting there thinking, “Hurry up already lady. Where is my lollipop? Cuz, I was told…that I could have a lollipop.”<\/p>\n

And I took a bunch of pictures and with every snip of the scissors was thinking, “OH MY GOD! I said to trim it up – you just cut like 3 inches off!”<\/p>\n

But when it was all said and done, Addie was happy because she got a lolly and <\/b><\/i>a balloon and Mommy was happy because if anything she has <\/b>even more <\/b>curls now, and her hair just looks SO.MUCH.BETTER.<\/p>\n

Of course she is crabby for other reasons now. Like…um, she is 2. And she has a runny nose again. And…she is 2!<\/p>\n

I tried desperately to get a good shot of her sporting the new hairdo but it just wasn’t happening today. But I like this photo a lot, so it will be my BSM for today.<\/p>\n
