Haircuts, tears, and lots of playing

On Thursday, before Wendy arrived, I took the kids to get their hair cut-- Nathan's was very long, and Leila's bangs kept getting in her eyes.

So, we went to Kids Castle Cuts. I took Nathan there for his second cut last year about this time. The hairdresser was great with him and we got him groomed. The place is so cute that I knew I would have to take Leila there at least once. They get to choose their seat: A race car, a jet plane, a pink jeep, a carousel horse... and half of the interior is devoted to toys and games the kids get to play on before or after for both. Its expensive for kids cuts, but worth it for Nathan, whose first experience getting his hair cut at the barber of my dad and father-in-law, was a bit traumatic. He hates getting his hair cut, and Thursday marked the third in his life. He hates washing his hair, he hates getting his hair wet. Maybe his has a Sampson Syndrome and doesn't think he will be the same if his hair is messed up? Who knows how that little wonderful mind works.

Leila LOVED everything about this place, down to the gold sparkles they sprayed in her hair at the end. She is not happy with the length- she wishes she could have her hair down to her waist... but for summer we need it shorter- right? Plus, she doesn't often let me put it up, so I see no reason to keep it long.

They look cute:
