Cora's First Hair Cut

Ok, so its not really truly her first - its the first one done by a licensed professional though. I have cut her bangs and trimmed ever so slightly the back of her hair, but this was serious. Gabe has been saying for a while now that her hair is looking more and more like a mullet - i think elf is more correct, but he looks at her and sees mullet.... I also needed my hair cut desperately. It was getting to the point of sizzling when i put the flat iron through it and that is not good.
So last week i made "Mamma and Cora" hair cut appointments and then realized - OH NO!!! This is going to be disaster. She freaks out when someone touches her or talks to her who she doesnt know. Oh well, it needed to be done. I wouldnt of hesitated doing it myself but a few weeks ago my sister sent me an email of these two mom's who's sole purpose for having a blog is to put their newly created hair styles for the daughters on it. It is so much fun - anyhow, on one of the blogs she did a contest for the worst hair cuts, "oops" haircuts and ones that either the child did themselves or had some help from a sibling. Well, it freaked me out and i decided that i did not want to be that mom - the mom who butchers their daughter's hair, or the mom who starts to cut, then needs to cut a bit more, and some more and before she knows it theirs no more hair left and you are left with a bald little girl......

So without further ado - here are some pics of Cora's first pro haircut......






Did i forget to mention the green sucker she had in her mouth and throughout the hair cut there were these continual lines of green slober trickling down her front. She finished the sucker part before the cut was over so she went onto eating the stick..... good times.
I do not have a after picture yet - she is taking a much needed nap - so when she wakes up and i fix it :) i will get it on here....
