Lydia's First Hair Cut!

Lydia will be three years old in February and she finally had her first hair cut. I have been debating for a long time but it is so thin and fine that the longer it got the more straggly it was looking. I would brush it beautiful and with in ten minutes of running around she'd look like my darling little ragamuffin. My only option has been to keep it pulled up. So a couple weeks ago we got brave and I cut three inches off the back! Don't worry I kept it and put it in her baby book and keepsake box! Does she look scared? She was actually amazing, sat still the entire time and didn't seem at all nervous. It may have helped that I let her watch a sesame street podcast on the computer. It was a new one and she was so into it that she didn't even seem to notice what I was doing until I was done and gave her the mirror! She sure enjoyed looking at herself in the mirror and when it was all done she said, "Wow Mom, my hair cut is cute!" She then asked if I wanted a cute hair cut too! I have to admit I was a little nervous at first because of my lack of experience cutting hair. Of course I have been cutting Dan's hair for the past seven years but cutting short hair with clippers is a lot different than cutting long hair with scissors! I was pleasantly surprised with how cute it turned out!
