Kylie's First Haircut

Ok, I know what you're thinking. Isn't five years old a little old for a first haircut? And I'm not counting what she did to her own bangs about a year ago. I mean her first actual, official haircut.

I should probably offer some pictorial explanations on why she's just now getting her first haircut.

This is Kylie eating cake on her first birthday. As you can see...no hair.

This is Kylie on her second birthday. Still not much going on in the hair department. She was still being called a boy on a regular basis by old men in Target.

This is October of 2005 at Knott's Berry Farm, so she would have just turned 3. Hair? Still not so much.

Every time her sisters have gotten a haircut, trim or anything done to their hair, she has begged me for a haircut. My answer has always been,

"No way! Do you know how long it took to grow what you've got now??"

But I looked at her today, and her hair was just all over the place. I decided it was time to give it a little shape. I still wanted it long, but just evened out a bit.

We went to this place called Snip Its, which is just for kids. She thought she was so cool up in that chair.

And now, the result. Drumroll, please....

Ok, not a huge difference, but it does look a little thicker. I think it's cute, and she just loves it. And before you say anything, YES, this picture was taken in Target. I know you are probably thinking that I have a serious problem, but I was only picking up a prescription! I SWEAR! I tried to take one out in the parking lot, but she wouldn't take her hand out from in front of her eyes (the sun, you know), so I did it inside. She told everyone at she saw at Target that she just had her very first haircut. And they all looked at me like I was crazy.
