We did it!

I am sure my mom and sister will be tickled to find out that yesterday we took Lydia for her first hair cut. Ever since Eli's hair cut Lydi has been obsessed about getting hers cut. Michael of course thought of about a hundred excuses not to have it done... but I won. We went first thing in the morning and of course no-one was there! Lydia was so upset, she kept saying "haircut and then lollipop". I'm not sure why they weren't open, but we regrouped and thought we would try again after Eli's nap. So home we went. On our second trip Lydia really couldn't stop talking about it. So we got to the salon and there was one person in front of us, so we went into the waiting room (the kids one with all the toys). Michael was still coming up with reason to leave. First he asked if that was the same person who did Eli's. When I said no, he said, "maybe we should just come back when that person is here, we don't HAVE to do it today". So I made a deal with him, if the kids got fussy before it was Lydia's turn I would come tomorrow without him, but either way it was getting done. The kids were great so Lydia got to hop up in the chair all by herself. She was so excited. It was just a trim, but I have my lock of hair in my envelope to go into the baby book when I find it. The big accomplishment of the day? No tears! (From Lydia or dad)
