Nella's 1st (Professional) Haircut

It was time. Time to cut off that scraggly long hair.  She needed a nice, simple, short cut for Summertime.  I've given her haircuts in the past, but this was beyond my skill level, errr, comfort level (I have no hair cuttin' skills). 

She was nervous.  The stylist gave her a sucker to keep her distracted.  She was such a good girl!  She barely moved!  I'm not sure if it was the nerves, or the fact that I promised her a cookie as a reward for good behavior.  That is not something I do often, but I didn't want to risk an all-out tantrum when someone was holding scissors near her head.  Bribery is OK in the event that it prevents a safety hazard, right?

This was right after I told her she earned that cookie.

But this was right after she saw her new do.  You know that feeling, right?  That, 'Ugh.  This looks awful!" feeling.

 
'Hmmm.  Maybe this isn't so bad after all.  I still look pretty darn cute!'

Enjoying that sweet, dark chocolate covered reward! 

You look fabulous, sweet Nella.  Simply fabulous!
