The first haircut

 Another milestone reached! Can you believe we've never cut D's hair? It was getting unmanageable, and we thought maybe after her third birthday would be a good time for a trim. Hubby had cut my hair before, nothing fancy, just straight across. Rather than taking her to a salon or even a kid-specific place, we figured we could do it at home ourselves.

We had clips, scissors, and even a cape (which we didn't end up using) already, from the various sets of clippers we've bought to use on Hubby's hair. So, last night, after a bath in which her hair was well-shampooed and conditioned, Hubby did the honours. He strapped a small chair to one of the kitchen chairs, set up a movie for D to watch, and went to work.

All done!

Hubby did a great job! D's hair is so much easier to comb now, and it doesn't get messy as easily as it did before. It took less than half an hour (I think?), and we were able to choose the best time for her, as opposed to making an appointment and hoping she'd be well-rested, able to stay still, and in a good mood!
