Goodbye Hockey Hair

Yesterday was the last day that anyone in our house sports a hockey haircut, since Nate and I are firm on only one thing in terms of our children's activities: they won't be playing hockey. They can do whatever their hearts desire, but play hockey. But I digress...

Tillie has had an interesting hairstyle as she has some wicked crazy cowlicks in her hair courtesy of her father, and half of her hair has grown down, and the other part (the top part) just grows forward.

Its....interesting.....

So with Grandma in the house to help out, we went off to Kids Hair to get the first haircut. Tillie wasn't so sure about it at first, so we decided to skip the gown that catches the hair, and I whipped out her treat--string cheese.

And then all was right in the world...


But THEN, they put on SESAME STREET. A TV show we have convinced Matilda only exists on Grandma and Grandpa's TV....and she was VERY excited.


She only needed three cushions to raise her booty up, and she did a great job sitting still, pausing every once in a while to say "I'm stuck" and "All Done".


The girl that cut her hair made quick work out of it and we were all very appreciative.



And so, given how crazy Tillie's hair is growing out we now have some very light wispy bangs. 


And we have another moment where our baby transitions to a big girl right before our eyes.

I love this post. Mostly because the one thing Ryan and I agree on laying the lawn down is NO HOCKEY...NO NO NO.

That being said I do have to say after our morning milk on Sundays Elena is treated to Sesame Street for the end "Elmo" while mom and dad slowly wake up. I promise not to share with Till :)

I love the hair cut! Tillie has so many "emily tendencies" like the cheese face - it must've rubbed off on the group baby.

In other news...I agree, no hockey - let her keep her teeth...football on the other hand...well...kickers don't have to deal with much contact :)

I am going to build the hockeyinfluencergenerator. I will go old school with a VHS tape of the movie Miracle and couple it to mother earth using hockey sticks. It will be powered by the non-pneumatic air engine and fastened using non-magnetic left handed wing nuts. I will re-calibrate the flux capacitating WOM chip and utilizing the coriolis effect, will harness the ionization of the aurora borealis and point this bad boy north at the greater twin city area, thereby creating subliminal messages to allow children to play hockey. To filter out the waveforms people would have to send me a check for 1 miiiillllion dollars made out to my favorite charity, Citizens Against Social Hostility – to make it easy just abbreviate it.
