Ila’s first haircut

I just couldn’t take the mullet anymore.  I always get impatient for my girls to grow enough hair to have a normal hairstyle. 

Here’s the before:

I got it mostly cut before she realized what I was doing.  Once she figured it out, she messed up her wet hair with her hands and anytime I came near her with my scissors, she shook her head from side to side so that I couldn’t get a clean cut.  I had to give up and just do touch up work a snip or two at a time for the next few days.5.7.11 Ila's haircut (4)Here are the after shots:5.10.11 Playing Outside (7)5.10.11 Playing Outside (16)
