Here is another first. Believe it or not, Evelyn did not receive her first haircut until a few weeks ago. Essentially, we felt that Evelyn's hair grew in over the years at a nice rate with a nice style and relatively even. Often we were asked, "When are you going to cut her hair?" or "How long are you going to let her hair get?" Our answer and thoughts were always...we would know when it was time to cut it and we would do it then. Evelyn's hair started to feel a little straw-like at the very ends and was becoming a little harder to comb out. That was our indication it was time to do something.
Knowing that many kids do not handle haircuts well, we decided to prepare Evelyn for the experience. We talked about it for a few days before, even having our nieces talk with Evelyn about how they like getting their haircut...what happens at a haircut...that it doesn't hurt...and that possibly she would get a piece of candy! There appeared to be one BIG thing all of us forgot to tell her about. The CAPE...they place around your neck to cover your clothes! When my hairdresser pulled the cape around Evelyn's neck, she totally lost it and cried very very hard! Luckily we pulled out the candy basket and Evelyn picked a lollipop to eat after the haircut, so she ended up calming down fairly quickly.
