Ashley's First Haircut

So I really didn't want to get her haircut.  I know with the boys Tommy was just over 2 years old and Austin was about 18 months old.  With boys you go in with babies and come out with little boys.  I wasn't ready for Ashley to look so different.  Well Joe was feeling like neglectful parents by not having her haircut yet; and honestly if you don't put it up everyday she does look like a little ragamuffin.  I went ahead and scheduled an appointment with my beautician and we just did a little trim and left the bangs long.  I really didn't want to deal with bangs.  So it honestly doesn't look much different and Joe can feel better about having it done.

Both the boys did okay with their 1st haircuts; Austin was pretty good, Tommy was a bit more nervous but they both got through it on the first try.  Ashley though was absolutely geeked to be getting her hair done; I don't know why I even worried at all.  What can I say the girl loves beauty and loves people fussing over her.  I told her we'd get a new nail polish after if she was good.  And she was just great throughout the whole thing!  My baby girl is growing up way too quickly.  And I'm pretty sure that everyday I'll be asked to blow dry and curl her hair just like at the salon.

Ashley is gorgeous, and it was obvious how much she loved the beauty treatment. Her smiles were priceless, and she is growing so fast-- not a baby anymore. How do you keep your hands off those sweet cheeks? She is adorable.

Thank you Amy! I agree she is pretty special but growing up way too quickly. Such a girlie-girl.

Oh my goodness she is such a beautiful little girl! Dawn I have to say that the 3rd always seems to grow so fast...especially when they are little girls who want to be like their big siblings. I love the pictures of Tommy and Austin too...so stylish!

Thank you Julie & Robin

Amy - Thank you so much, feeling like a chump after a VERY BAD Austin night. I didn't feel like a very good parent last night and it wasn't a happy household. Will try again today; the key is figuring out how to get them to do things they don't want to do but are necessary and Austin is my only bull. It's tough. Today's got to be better.

Renee - Thank you! You are so right, she wants to do everything the boys do! And I think when you know it's your last all the milestones just seem to be like another end all. Gotta enjoy them while they're little.

Ashley is beautiful! You're so lucky to have a girly-girl! Malayna fights just having her hair brushed!

Dawn said...

Thanks Sheila - I'm definitely thankful she's girly. She will let me brush her hair forever, she loves getting her nails polished. Maybe Malayna will eventually come around but some girls just don't do frilly and that's okay too.
