First Haircut
I've been debating for a little while now about cutting Abby and Zoë's hair. A lot of other girls their age we know have gotten haircuts that have made their hair look really nice and healthy. I wondered how much I should cut, should I cut one different than the other, should I even cut it at all. I finally decided to just give them each a small trim to even out the ends. We showered this morning and then Chris got some newpaper for them to stand on and, of course, the camera. I put them each in their little undies and stood them in place when it was their turn. I was nervous to start the actual cutting. Chris asked how much I was going to cut and I told him "As little as possible." Zoë went first, she was nervous to begin with but warmed up to it. I tried to go really quickly and barely cut any. Abby went second and was nervous pretty much the whole time. She kept putting her chin all the way to her chest, then she'd look right up at Chris, then down to the floor again. She ended up getting a little bit more cut off than Zoë due in part to all the head movement. It's not really so noticeable, just that it's now straight across. When I put their hair in pony tails today it didn't really look any different than before. This evening after I took her hair out of her pony tail, I noticed a few too many spots that I had missed on Zoë's hair. So, when we brought the girls upstairs to get ready for bed, I tried to do a quick fix-up. She was all for it and kept saying "Quick cut, Mommy? Fix my haircut?"
