Olivia's New Do!













Well, I knew at some point we would experience a (what I will politely call) shocking haircut! I took Olivia Sat. afternoon following her nap to get a "TRIM." I simply wanted someone to trim off the ends of her hair and shape it up. (Tone down the mullet look.) Finally, the 3rd place we stopped (I should have quit after the first place was closed) was open and had an open chair for Olivia. Little did I know that they had little/or no experience cutting a toddler's hair. (Didn't really know that until I went to pay and there was total confusion as to how much to charge since they never have cut a babies hair) I assumed anyone would understand what a "trim/shape up" meant. BOY was I wrong. While trying to appease Olivia with a sucker the sweet lady began chopping away. The next thing I know I'm looking down at my hand where a piece of hair has fallen. The piece of hair must have been an inch-inch and a half. As my heart jumped into my throat I slowly looked up at Olivia's head. Obviously, it was too late to say anything so I began trying to convince myself that it could possibly just be a cute little bob. The lady was so proud and all I could do was smile and nod to her expression...."It's SO cute!" Needless to say, Olivia came out weighing a few less ounces than she did when we arrived. Bless her heart, she kept feeling her neck and head with a look on her face as if she were saying...."Where did it go momma???" Oh well, I think the hair cut is finally growing on me!! I just don't do well with surprises....especially when they involve hair!! So, for now....here is Olivia's new do!!!
