First Haircut
I had the day off today so we took Angie for her first haircut. We have waited four and a half years, but could put it off no longer. The ends were just too "tangly" and were causing some complaints during brushing.
We took her to Pigtails and Crewcuts which is designed for kids. There are t.v.s with videos playing (Elmo was on when we went), a Thomas the Train table, toys, stuffed animals and the chairs are actually a fire engine, a car and a plane.
Angie was a little less than enthusiastic about getting her hair cut. She received a Fairy Tale Princess Dora for Christmas and the doll talks about having long hair (you push a button, her hair grows). Angie was telling me Rapunzel-esq stories in which the prince cousin Diego couldn't climb up to see Angie because her hair was too short so they couldn't get married.
She went straight for the train table when we arrived. She eventually climbed into the plane (good girl) for her haircut while holding on to one of the trains. Don't worry family, this isn't like when Mom cut my hair, we only asked them to take off a few inches. I'm certain that cousin prince Diego will still be able to climb the tall tower using Angie's ever so long hair.
She did very well and kind of enjoyed the attention. Gale, who cut her hair, was very nice and very focused on making Angie comfortable.
They did give us a very small amount of her hair as a keepsake along with a photo of her in the plane. I may need to cut more off if Grandpa Warren still wants his own lock.
As we were leaving, Angie could pick something from the Treasure Chest. It had some bracelets, random toys and a variety of small rubber duckies. Chas and I both knew she would go for the duckies. For the past month, when we go to World Market, she stops to play with the seasonal rubber duckies. There is counting, categorizing and adventuring to be done every single time. I bought the snowman duckie for her when they went on sale and she loves it. Snow Duckie has been in every bath since. And she has told me that she wants to collect them all (that would be my DNA coming through).
She settled on a small duckie with a purple tiara and a magic wand
and promptly dubbed her "Duckie-ie-ie-ie."
Oh, and her hair looks nice too.
