Lindsay's First Haircut

Today was a big first for Lindsay, her very first haircut!! Her blonde hair isn't very long, but at the back it was getting stringy and frizzy, so we thought that it was about time to trim the ends. Here is a before pic to show what we fondly refer to as her "rat's nest":

It is no secret in our family that Lindsay gets her hair from her Daddy... they both have the same fine and straight hair. But, the fact she has hair at all is a miracle. I had no hair when I was her age... note the picture below.. I was around 2ish, and oh-so-bald. I am sure my first haircut was like when I was like 10.

After searching for a "kid's haircut" near Malibu online, I found this gem near the Pizza Hut in Agoura. What a flashback to the glorious 1980's... Jarrett and I imagined getting our haircuts in a place like this in Bakersfield; probably off California Avenue.

Hmmm... not too sure about this. Whoa... what do you think you are doing?

I like the hearts on my cape.

 We got "Donna" the sweet owner and stylist of Bambino's Children's Salon, which has been open for over 25 years, so she had to be doing something right. Between the teddy bear denim shirt with leggings and scrunchy socks, we knew we were in good hands, but we were a little worried Lindsay might walk out with a perm and side pony tail...

What a little lady she did great!! No tears, and was SO still for an almost-two-year old. We could not believe it.

 Getting the blow dryer... Looking so stylish.

 Sweet Big Girl.... sniff sniff

 Donna gave us a cute card for her baby book with a (little!) snip of hair along with a family picture. I almost cried. Meanwhile.... I couldn't figure out who I had a harder time tearing away from the toys, Jarrett in the 1980's-style arcade or Lindsay in the playhouse...

 Happy Pretty Girl... Her buddy Elmo stayed in her hands the entire time...LOL. We did escape the perm, but Lindsay did sport a mini-side pony tail with a tiny scrunchy..

Our girl is growing up!!
