Haircut
I took Ally to get her first professional haircut today. She quit letting me put in ponytails a little over a month ago for some reason. I could fight with her to make her let me, but then, as soon as I'm looking the other way, she pulls them out. So, I gave up. Without being able to pull it up, I can't keep it out of her eyes when the wind blows. The sides were too long. So I had them cut her bangs and taper the sides a little, so they won't blow in her eyes. Seemed to work. The wind didn't bother her at the park. I wasn't sure how she would react to the haircut, but she did pretty well. I tried to get her to sit by herself, but she wouldn't even think about it, so she stood on my lap (she wouldn't sit down at all). She was not thrilled about the bib they put on to catch the hair either, but she got distracted from whining about it when she hairdresser sprayed her head with water. Then, she just held real still. About halfway through it, she started to relax and slid down and sat for the rest of it. She didn't cry at all. I was so proud.
