Mikee’s first haircut

Mikee is now 33 months old (or simply put, 2 years and 9 months old), and yet, she never had a haircut. That was until, yesterday, April 12, we went to a parlor for kids. I wanted a certificate with a sample of her hair on it. But we were told that their digicam isn’t working. Tsk, tsk. I even suggested that they use the photos from our SLR but they said they do not allow photos to be downloaded from another camera directly to their computer. Hmmm, I didn’t push the idea since I thought I could get a sample of the hair myself and then I can do a scrappage instead and just frame it. I would have the freedom on the page design and number of photos on the layout. (The certificate has only two: before and after) Plus, I could add some journaling and caption. And it saved me money of course.

This is one “before” photo. Mikee loves riding cars so the seat was perfect.

But she started complaining when the hair stylist had put tissue around her neck and then the robe.

So we requested for Dora to be played on the TV in front of her (instead of Playhouse Disney), and we started blowing bubbles which took her mind off the ongoing haircut.

Everything went well… until, her hair had to be blow-dried. She was scared of the sound from the blower.

Finally, we’re finished! And you’d think that her curls have been cut.

But 15 minutes later… the curls are back.

I sure hope I can do the framed layout (shadowbox?) for her first haircut SOON! Yikes!
