Haircuts, Round 2

It was that time again.... time for Syd's second hair cut and time for Mel's first hair cut (and then a chance for me to get a haircut!).  We went to Rumors Salon in Lake Arrowhead Village to see our favorite hair stylist, Mrs. Metzger.  

Mrs. Metzger did Syd's first hair cut, which was an event filled with tears.  This time, Syd was more prepared and excited, and even wanted to "go first."  She started by getting her hair washed, on a booster seat.
  
 

Then the hair cutting began.
 

Syd even did well getting her hair blow-dried (for the first time ever). Meanwhile, Mel was having fun twirling herself or daddy on a salon chair.  When it was her turn, Mel was a bit more resistant and echoing "no" quite a but.  But, almost anything is possible if she can sit on daddy's lap and play with her toy cars...

 

And in the end, I had both pretty girls with hair cuts, and a fantastic reminder of how God has created each of them uniquely... 

Thank you, Jane, for being the only one the girls can trust to cut their hair.  We had so much fun and the girls adore you!

Sydney's First Haircut

33 months and finally Syd had her first haircut today. It was a mommy-and-Syd day up in beautiful Lake Arrowhead. One of my favorite patient's mother, Jane, agreed so kindly to be the first to cut Syd's hair. I don't think I could have trusted anyone else on the planet to cut my daughter's hair... not that I wanted a complicated hair-style, but because Syd needed the patience, sweetness, kindness and calmness of someone like Jane.

Thank you Jane, for all that it took of you to do just a simple trim. And sorry for all the tears. I hope Syd remembers her promise not to cry the next time. And thanks to your friend for the "troll princess" that Sydney clenched with all her might.

After her haircut, Syd and I had lunch together at the Belgium Waffle House (she ordered PB&J and fries). Then she fed the ducks. Last stop was to pick out some jewelry and hair accessories for her at Claire's.

On the way home, Syd said "That was fun - coming to Lake Arrowhead to get my haircut!"
