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.
