Ava's 1st hair cut!

Yes, you read that correctly...Ava's 1st hair cut was a week before her 3rd birthday!!

Mommy couldn't bare the thought of cutting her baby "blond curls"...

 

 

Ava did, however, give her bangs a little trim a few days before that...

 

 

She was SO EXCITED about her first hair cut! We had be telling her for days about it and that there are special big girl chairs to sit in and that they will play a movie for her to watch. There was a lot of "big girl" talk going around becuase of her BIG GIRL 3rd BIRTHDAY!

 

Here are a few before pictures of her scraggly, uneven, NEVER BEEN cut hair!

 

Do you like her shoe choice?...I sure do! ;)

 

When we walked in Pigtails and Crew Cuts, she made a beeline to the yellow taxi car. I thought we were going to have to convince or bribe her to get in a chair. It helped that we were the only people in the salon and all of the ladies were just dying over her cuteness! And, The Lorax was playing, which is one of her favorite movies right now!

 

 

Mommy had all the cameras going...video, phone and point & shoot!

 

Ava was so brave and did an amazing job getting her hair cut.

She didn't say a word the whole time and was very "serious", as the ladies put it.

It took us a few tries to get a photo of her at the end for her "First Hair Cut Card".

 

 

THE FIRST CUT!

 

We made it a family affair. :)

 

Here are a few after pictures of her freshly cut EVEN hair. ;)

Ava fell in love with the braid and requested one for several days in a row! She even needed to sleep with a braid.

 

tear!

 

We let Ava choose our lunch date and she said "chicken and oranges at buffalo wild wings", so off we went! However, she ended up ordering mini corn dogs. lol.

 

I'm sure we won't wait 3 more years until her next cut...
