Lanie's Hair

Yesterday morning I asked Lanie if she wanted to me to do her hair.

"Yes mama! Make my hair!" (that's Spanish phrasing) "Make me a pony! A big pony! The biggest pony ever! Like your hair! Like Vivian's hair! Like Cinderella's hair! Make it so big. I love it. I love the hair pony!"

I wish I had this enthusiasm for life.  Particularly at 7:00 am.

Vivian did the outfit.

Vivian's first hair salon

Up until now, Vivian has refused to get her haircut, so I have been doing it.  Which has amounted to me cutting it while she was watching TV and didn't know a few times, and then once when she cut it herself and I had to cut it to even it out.  I'm not sure why she didn't want to get it done, it may have been Sam hating the buzzers at the barbershop or that she thought it would hurt.  I finally convinced her to go to a kiddie salon, complete with TV, lollipops and prizes.  She changed her mind as soon as we walked in the door, but I talked her into it.  The hairdresser was great, and she styled it and added glitter (that is still on her scalp a week later).  We walked out and Vivian declared, "I LOVE getting my haircut!"

And I did have to cut it, which didn't faze her at all.  In fact I think she was kind of excited, which means the lesson was probably not learned.

Things I've Cut Out of Hair

I guess because Vivian has a head full of curls, things get tangled in her hair a lot more easily.  Some things I've cut out of her hair recently:

- a lollipop- somehow on the back of her head (nothing to do with Sam)

- paint 

- a clump of hair similar to and that may have been, a dreadlock

- a battery operated train, it apparently felt good to run it over her body and but got immediately tangled in her hair (twice)
