The First Haircut...Officially Anyway

Well, Zoe is 3 1/2 years old and finally got a real haircut! Back on her 2nd birthday, I chopped off her 'rat tail', but this was an actual "sit in the chair with a cape" haircut. Zoe's hair was not long or even falling into her eyes. In fact, the only reason for the haircut was the fact that she was looking a little "webby" with all that baby fuzz sticking out in every direction! Dorothee, my hairdresser, put Zoe on the chair and asked if I wanted to save a lock of hair. Now, I did have a little plastic bag with me for the big event, but I didn't think it was going to work that way, so I told her not to worry about it. She was thankful, because as she cut those webs off, the hair just evaporated! I swear there was nothing left on that floor at all! It was the oddest thing! Zoe was the perfect customer, and sat still the entire 3 minutes it took to cut her hair. It made a world of difference - her hair looked curly once more and not webby!
