haircut time!!

so ellie has been rockin' a fierce baby mullet these days. in case you all aren't familiar on what a mullet is or looks like...

here is wikipedia's definition of the mullet:
The mullet is a hairstyle that is short at the front and sides, and long in the back.[1] Often ridiculed as a lowbrow and unappealing hairstyle, the mullet began to appear in popular media in the 1960s and 1970s but did not become generally well-known until the early 1980s. It continued to be popular until the mid-1990s and has enjoyed a partial return to favour as a retro look in the 2000s

and here is the 1980's sensational hairstyle:

"business in the front, party in the back"... as the old saying goes. whew, that's an ugly hairstyle!

both grandma's have been urging me to take little ellie to the hair salon and trim that hair. just like addison, ellie's hair has been growing in slow. and as her mommy, i've been reluctant to cut it. i'm savoring every little strand that has grown in... regardless if she was sporting a funny looking hairdo. but i realized the grandmas were right. we need to trim it. it may look fuller if we do. and who knows, maybe it'll grow faster?

so today, we went to kiddie hair place that addison goes to. i scheduled a trim for addison too. i had addison go first so ellie can watch and see how fun it was. then it was ellie's turn.


"i'm not too sure about this. i kinda like my mullet."



ellie looking slightly terrified. "lady, you sure you know what you're doing??"



she seems to be more interested in what she's sitting in. love the kiddie hair places! distraction, distraction, distraction. there's Toy Story playing in front of her too.



wow, a clean cut. i must admit it looks good!

grabbed some dinner afterwards. ellie could not let go of the balloons the hair place gave her.



she is even eating while holding the balloons.



goofy addie :)



i should have had them trim her hair more. it doesn't look much different.



and to top off the celebratory first haircut, we took a ride on the carousel! good times!!
