Today was a big day for us, the girls got their first haircuts. It has gotten quite warm here and become uncomfortable to have long hair. They wake up from nap upset because their hair is sweaty and I find the long hair tangled around their necks. After discussing with Brant, we decided that it was time they got haircuts.
Having feared for the worst, we decided to get it professionally done for the first time and will probably follow-up with home trims as needed for a while. I didn't know the level of squirming and tears that would occur. Turns out nothing. The girls were amazing. Sure we'd been talking about how wonderful it would be to get their haircut, trying to get them excited for a neck that wasn't sticky, hair that didn't tangle, and the wind blowing their lighter hair...and it seemed to work.
As part of the quintessential mom experience, I kept a few ringlets of hair even though I'm not sure why, I didn't want to regret this decision later. I will miss those ringlets for sure.
On the way home the girls were so excited about their hair, they didn't want any clips or pigtails at all. The requirement of such hair accessories had been a huge issue each day unless it was precisely accommodated. The girls seem happy about their experience and don't find it to be a huge deal. I couldn't ask for anything more.
