Eva received her first haircut! At first I thought I would get her a bob, but I really like putting her hair in ponytails. Plus her hair is so curly on the ends. So we just got a trim. Her hair looks great and is so much easier to brush.
The actual appointment was very traumatic. So traumatic that I left my camera at the hair salon and was unable to take cute pictures afterward. Eva was in tears the moment she realized what was going on (about 2 seconds after we got to the salon). But the hairdresser, who came highly recommended, was wonderful. She was patient and used all her tricks to get Eva to stop crying. Eva eventually stopped crying, but was not happy, as you can see below.
I often have trouble choosing the best photo for a post, but I really had trouble this time. They are all so cute and also capture her resigned despair so well. I actually cut quite a few.
Eva passed the time eating goldfish and watching Elmo. And I learned what my daughter should look like in a perfect Stepford world (gel, freshly cut ribbon). If only we had the time and Eva had the patience. She does look adorable.

I love all these pictures and your caputuring her despair and then resignment – heck with the gel and stuff – I think she looks adorable hair down and a barrett – she has such a powerful mane!
