On a whim last Friday, I decided that Sophie needed a haircut. It’s her first “real” haircut, second only if you count the time Josh trimmed the pieces behind her ears! I couldn’t bring myself to cut it and was quite enamored with her cutie-patooty pigtails. But, let’s be honest… it was a bit of a mullet and was starting to be a bit embarrassing.
This is what we started with. And really? Brittany brushed it out nice for the before picture, so you can’t even tell how funny it looks. You can always scroll back to the pumpkin carving post if you want a reminder.
I called SD to make sure he didn’t mind and just as I had suspected, he let out a “Thank God!”.
She did such a good job and sat in the big-girl Hello Kitty chair like a champ. She kept saying “ow, ow” but I’m pretty sure that’s because she watches me fix Ella’s hair in the morning, who is super tender-headed and complains the entire time. Five minutes and a sticky sucker later, we were left with this.
I cannot believe I waited so long to do this! I was so anxious in the beginning, but once she made the first cut I took a deep sigh of relief. I have dreamed of a baby bob since before having littles, but Ella’s curly hair is too pretty to chop off. Instead, I have a tiny little thing with the CUTEST pixie haircut and she is as proud as can be. She’s been showing off her “air-cut” for a week now and grins every time you asked her about it.
And in the spirit of Friday’s phone dump, which would have consisted of three sad little photos, here are two great shots of her super cute new ‘do!
