First Haircut

It was time.

The last time I cut Clio's bangs, I tried for my original technique of simply pulling them up and snipping across while she was distracted. However, I forgot one crucial little thing: the need for Clio to be still. What ensued essentially amounted to running with scissors... at the baby. Fortunately, the results were no worse than a butchered bang job., which you can kind of see here:


With all the family events of the past week, and adorable holiday outfits for each, it seemed fitting that we clean things up a bit. (Plus, of course, there was the trouble with the vaseline-sticky face.)
So we went to Kid's Cuts, a chain in MN recommended by the Hewitts for their expertise in distraction methods as well as actual hair. Clio took the whole thing VERY seriously.

The Before ( agorwn-out, scraggly mess):

The Setup:

The Process (serious business!):

The After (like a Campell's Kid from the 40s!):

The Reward:



She also got a certificate of First Haircut, which I would consider scanning and including here if our scanner had not broken, ironically, the day Clio was born.
