Taylor's First Hair Cut

On May 29th, at approximately 6pm, Taylor had her first haircut.

Considering she was pretty much bald on her first birthday, Miss Taylor has come a long way, follicly speaking. But her bangs were a tad long and barrettes just were not high on her list of must-wear accessories. :) It was time for a trim.

She and I headed out to visit Crystal, the stylist that's been doing my hair since my wedding, at Studio 1. We pulled up, parked and walked in, Taylor holding my hand. As soon as we walked in, it was like she'd been there 100 times before. Taylor handed me her coat, climbed up on the seat in the waiting area and looked out the great big window at all the cars & passers-by (the shop is on Water St. so its a pretty active location). Crystal said she'd be right with us... Taylor nodded sagely and hopped off the chair to go get a magazine and brought it back for me to read to her.

When Crystal called us over she walked up, said hi, and settled into the raised seat in the stylists chair. She was literally a perfect angel. Sitting still when needed, very polite... she was even teasing Crystal a little... which Crystal got quite a kick out of.

At the end of her cut, she jumped into Crystals arms, said thank you and smiled. She even ran back to give Crystal her tip - I thought Crystal was going to melt.

Yup.... she's a pretty special little lady. (I almost said 'girl', but the way she carried herself, she was a lady through and through.)

I love you Taylor Jade.


Of course, you can't have a great 'first haircut story' without pictures (thanks Mom... I wouldn't have even taken the camera if you hadn't mentioned it, and I would have regretted it - even though I didn't think I would then). :)


Before - A bit shaggy. :)














During - She had a ball with Crystal - At one point (between pictures 2 & 3) Crystal said "Oh Taylor, don't be sad!" Taylor, who never even flinched an eyebrow said "I not," and then thru all the hair you saw a little bit of dimple. Crystal got quite a chuckle out of our very serious little girl.




















After - In the first picture she was looking into the mirrors behind us, in the second... I think she approves of her new look. :)
