No More Tears!

So it finally came to it...we had to get Addy's hair cut.  Each and every morning it was always the same scenario--tears, tears and more tears.  I'd say, "it's time to fix your hair, Addy." And then she'd always reply, "with a comb?" (with great anguish).  Even though I knew what was in store, all I could do was laugh when she'd ask if we had to actually comb it out.  She'd rather we just put it in a headband or ponytail (without combing) and call it a day.

After a few weeks of preparing her for the fact that we were going to cut it, we finally did it.  I was worried how she'd react.  But she seems to really like it.  And we've gotten plenty of compliments on it too!

Not really the best picture to capture what it looks like (will have to get another picture to post soon).  It's a wedge cut.  So it's longer in the front.  About chin length.  And then short in the back.  Soooooo much easier to get her to comb her hair in the morning.  Aaahhhh, one thing that's easy. ;)

And then Lucas' cut.  Wasn't terribly pleased with it.  I even had to ask her to go back and cut stray hairs that were poking out in the back and front sides.  And still there are flaws.  Ah, well.

Afterwards, we met up with our friend Madeline for some yummy Kara's cupcakes.

Gotta love the patience and restraint.  True signs that they have come to terms with their scrappy mom! ;)

Then a little playtime with the bike racks.  What's interesting is that around this time last year when we went, Addy could walk right under them without ducking.  Now check her out!

And proof (or shall we say future blackmail??) that Addy can hold her own...
