It's a beautiful day in Michigan. Sunny and bright. Ellie is fully recovered from a bad bout of norovirus last week. She's in a great, playful mood. What I had planned for our Monday morning was cancelled so I decided to take Ellie for her first haircut.
We've been prepping for this. A new children's haircut place opened in November so I knew this would be the best place for a great first experience. Ellie and I went and checked the place out in person a couple weeks ago. We met a really wonderful stylist, Kristin, who helped us decide to cut 4 inches off. Then we watched a YouTube video of a little girl getting a haircut. So all that was left was to go do it!
Ellie did great! She asked to hold my hand but she sat still and did all the things that Kristin asked her too. It didn't hurt that there was a sucker, a certificate and the promise of Chipolte quesadillas afterwards :)
And if that weren't enough excitement for the day, she decided to go #2 on the toilet at the place. After she completed her job, she looked at me with a smile "Do you want to see it?" Oh, the things we do as parents. :)
