Sadie's first haircut

This girl's bangs were out of control and chronically in her eyes. She refused to keep any sort of bow, band, or clip in her hair so the only option was to give her a little cut. I won't pretend I didn't cry later. After all, this is a sort of right of passage. My baby girl is old enough to have hair long enough that needs to be cut. I try to remind myself that some babies come out of the womb with enough hair that needs to be cut.

Aunt Catherine did the deed. I'm so glad it was her and not me. Otherwise, Sadie's head would look crooked.

Here's the after:Notice the tears...
Upon finishing, Sadie politely told Catherine "Tenk Tu" translated as "Thank You" through her tears. It either means "Thank You" or "Thank you, you've done enough, now back off." I'm thinking its the latter. No, really. Thanks Catherine. We appreciate your patience and steady hand.

She is too cute. I can't believe this is her first haircut! how fun. She looks so grown up with straight bangs instead of whispy ones. :)

What a super cute girl! The hair cut looks good. I understand the tears. I couldn't bring myself to get Kailey's hair cut until a few months ago, and even then I didn't let my aunt cut as much as I had previously decided on. Aren't you glad now that you did it?
