After his working day ended, Josh met us at Snip-Its for M's first haircut. She's watched him get his hair trimmed at the barber's and she has been talking about getting hers done ever since. We started purposefully talking up the whole experience earlier in the week in preparation for today's big event: explaining that she would wear a "blanket" that was like a giant bib to keep her clothes clean, talking about how "special" scissors are used to cut hair (in hopes that she won't try this on her own with the kitchen shears at home), and discussing that cutting off the ends of her hair will get rid of the tangles at the bottom and will help her hair be smooth and shiny. She handled the whole thing like an old pro!
