First Haircut

Alex had her first haircut yesterday. I must say Todd and I had high hopes but low expectations on how she would do for the whole thing. She is really hit or miss with new people and if she gets it in her mind that she does not want to do something she won't do it. And sometimes she is really standoffish with new people and sometimes she just warms right up to them. So we were a little leery. I also had been preparing Alex for a few days beforehand talking it up and telling her they had balloons and suckers if she was a good girl. I had also packed her backpack full of snacks in an effort to bribe her to goodness if necessary (yes I did-- sometimes a mom has to do what a mom has to do).

But it was all for naught-- she was the perfect little angel. The hairdresser asked her if she wanted to watch Dora and I think that was all it took. She climbed right up in that chair, TALKED to the girl, COOPERATED fully, smiled for pictures, watched the video, let them put the "princess"cape on her and then they cut her hair. Todd and I were like-- who is this little sweetheart. She is usually pretty good but this was amazing. I definitely think it helped that they had all the goodies for kids (it was a kid's hair place). We were in and out of there in 30 minutes. Yea!!!!
