SNIP

After two illness cancellations, Miss Maizey and I finally had our "first haircut" outing. Now I would not describe myself as a sentimental mama, but there was something about this premiere snip that gave me a tight chest/itchy throat feeling. (Will probably thanks goodness she's a girl - as if she'd been a boy, he'd likely sport locks resembling Kate Hudson's child.)

What: Baby's First Haircut

When: Monday, January 27

Where: Zoey & Joey (Ann Arbor), in a Mini Cooper

Prior to taking her place in the chair, she was a tad nervous, 

but found a doll to keep her company.

Her nerves were quickly calmed though

by the sweet stylist,

car chair, 

and personal television.

 Screening The Tigger Movie.

Of course I was there to distract her.

And snap snaps

of snip-snips.

So grown up...

Though the television did at times prove a bit distracting...

 As did the Mini Cooper. 

 But, she was good through the blow-dry.

 Annnnnd.

Done.

  She was entranced by her swept up hair.
I couldn't watch. Remember that chest tightening? Yeah.

Even scored a special certificate and hair lock. 

 Thanks Ashley.

Follow-up treat? Frozen - with movie popcorn and "spicy" (carbonated) soda.

Which contained a good message for me, "Let it go!" Hair and all.
