Charlise's First Haircut

{Friday} March 25, 2011

Charly has THE slowest growing hair! She just turned three and this is all it's grown. About a year ago Grandma Carey cut a little off the back to even things out, but she's never really had a real hair cut. At night time when I'm putting her in bed I'll usually tell her what we're going to do the next day . . . usually something she would think is fun like painting her nails, going to the park, etc. and I tell her that we'll do it IF she stays in bed like a good girl and goes to sleep. Last night I told her that I would cut her hair and make her pretty if she stayed in bed . . . she stayed in bed so today I cut it!

Before . . . watching some Strawberry Shortcake to keep her still . . .

. . . and after!

I think she looks SO cute with shorter hair . . . maybe because it's not so thin and scraggly looking. {This last picture makes it look crooked, but that's because she can't help but dance all day. It's almost impossible to keep her still. She stayed still when I was cutting it because I let her know the scissors were sharp and if she moved too much I could cut her. It worked.}
