And it was especially time for a HAIRCUT :)
I'm a little behind in posting this special event, but it is better late than never. Marie got her 1st haircut on Monday, November 24, 2008. Natty received her first ever haircut at the age of 4 and Marie was pretty close. She would be 4 on December 2. There was a big difference between my two treasures when they went to the hair cut place. Natty cried because she didn't want to have her hair cut. Natty has a close friend who cut her own hair at the same time and we showed her the pictures of the outcome...needless to say it helped Natty never to want scissors to ever touch her hair. I know it's hard to be the one who has the child who sets the example, but I truly thank my dear close friend of the little girl who paved the way...love ya, Kelly :). I now never have to fear Natty cutting her own hair :).
Marie, on the other hand, was very excited about the hair cut place. We really pumped her up about going to the special place called Snip-Its to get her first hair cut. I chose this place for both girls because they give you a certificate for bravery, take your picture, and save a lock of your hair from your first cut. They also give you a special key card to insert into their "whatchamadoodle prize machine." It makes weird noises and then spits out a big bouncy ball for your prize. Marie was thrilled. You pay the price, of course, but it is only a one time thing with our family :). After the first cut, you go on to the quick and cheap hair cuttery places.
So as you can see, it was a precious memory for me and my little girls. Natty missed the event because she went on ahead with Mama and Emmy to her violin lesson. Marie didn't miss out, however, on filling Natty in on all the details and showing off her "PRIZE BALL."
