First Hair Cut

McKenna got her first hair cut today and it wasn't at a beauty salon. While at the babysitters, our niece decided that McKenna's pony tail was too long and cut it off. My sister-in-law felt awful, but hair grows back and for some reason hair is a fascinating thing to cut. McKenna now has a mullet on the right side of her head - no more pony tails or pig tails for a long time. It actually is not terrible - from the front you cannot tell. I did have my crying moment after I saw her and it was more about the realization of not seeing her in her adorable pig tails than the actual look of the hair.
Here she is telling me that her hair should belong on her head! She is such a silly girl.
Here are some close ups of the bald spot. Luckily, her hair is so fine and light that it kind of blends.
We went to this cute little salon in town to see what we could do with her hair. They were so nice and told me to just wait to cut it and then showed me these bows that are "No Slippy Hair Clippies." They have a magnet and fabric on them so they won't fall out. At least these bows will hold her "comb over" for the next few months until her hair grows out and we go get it trimmed evenly.

Oh Charla! I want to cry with you. It doesn't look all that bad, really, but it would sadden me to have my baby's hair cut like that. I'll have to make and send you some more no-slippy clippies. My child won't need them for a while...
