Maddie's First Haircut

Last week we took Maddie to get her first haircut.  Since we did a big production for Nate (Nate's First Haircut) we wanted to do something special for Maddie as well.  Since she is 3 years old and NOT a baby, we decided instead of taking her to Cookie Cutters we would take her to a "big girl" salon.  I have a friend that works at Borics and thought that would be perfect.  It was absolutely perfect.  Maddie was so excited to finally be getting her haircut.  She watches eagerly every time I cut Daddy and Nate's hair, wanting to have hers cut too.  And after chopping half her bangs and some of the hair on top to the scalp this summer, she was ready! :)

Alison did a great job making her feel special.  She even put a little bit of stuff in her hair and ran the blow dryer through it to make her feel like a big girl.  Maddie just grinned and you could tell she was just beside herself.  She did so good sitting still.  In the end, the cut is just perfect. It evens out the original Mohawk and makes her look older.  So bittersweet but then again I say that about every milestone with the kids.
