So ...Denisse was born with a full head of hair..I mean ...full ...she had way too much and though its a myth I believe that my heartburn while prego was caused by this...anyway ..I had decided early on that I would not cut her hair until at least a year...
Well her first B-day came and went and I still didn't feel like she needed one..and so each birthday came and went and I still didn't want to cut it. In fact towards the end...we (her father and I) had decided not to do it until she asked for one...and the day finally came when she said she wanted to cut her hair..and as much as it hurt ...and I tried to put it off..I finally took her...I decided to do it on the Saturday before she starts Kindergarten.
She was awake way too early all excited ...as you can see in the picture
and so we headed off at around 0845 because the place opened at 0900 and of course me thinking that it was the Saturday before school started it would be full I wanted to be one of the first people there ...and so we got there at 0855 and still sat in the car for a few minutes and finally we went in ...greeted by a nice named Kim.
So..she sat in the chair and she wet her hair...
and she went so fast that I missed the first snip..:( ...but then she gave me the pony tail and I put it in a bag...and she continued to trim...
she didn't like the blow dryer much ...but she survived
and the final result was adorable ...
and so ..that was a brief re-cap of this bitter sweet moment in our life. My daughter will start kindergarten on Monday ...and after this ...there are not many firsts left. I am glad I waited until now...we enjoyed one of her firsts together...and she will remember this day...it will be an actual memory for her..not something that she saw in pictures, on a cheesy certificate in an album ...but hopefully she will look back and say ..I remember the first time I cut my hair...
