First Haircut

On Friday, Michael and I took the girls to get their first official (much needed) haircut. I have cut a little bit of their hair before Friday, but not too much since Michael was opposed to them getting their hair cut (don't ask me why). I had visions of my poor girls looking like Kate Hudson's son.

I had made a few comments to him recently about their hair and he finally relented and gave us his okay. Since it was their first hair cut, I did not want to do it without Michael. I knew that he would be upset if I had done so behind his back. I would not feel right about taking the girls without him.

The above pictures are 'before' the cut. As you can see, poor Gisella's vision was impaired since her hair fell over her eyes. She was also starting to grow a mullet. Giuliana's hair just needed a little trim - her hair is really curly and looks shorter - she also has a calick that prevents her hair from falling onto her face. I was mostly wanting Gisella to get her hair cut since it did cause a vision impairment.

Here is Gisella getting her hair cut - she was not happy about it - when we first placed her in the hair cutting chair, she started to cry. She soon stopped once her Daddy took her and held her in his lap. I think that the big chair scared her a bit. My husband, of course, told me that we were 'torturing them'. Whatever.

After Gisella had such a difficult time, we were nervous about Giuliana's turn - since she is more sensitive than her sister. Giuliana surprised us all - she did not cry one bit - but she did make things difficult by continuously trying to turn her head in order to look at whatever Alma (the stylist) was doing.

Our first official haircut is over. The entire process took no longer than fifteen minutes. This picture was taken 'after' the haircut. Gisella's hair is no longer covering her little face. Also, when Gisella was finished with her haircut, she continued to look at herself in the mirror and smile. I think that she really likes her new little bob!

After the haircut, we all went out to dinner to celebrate - yeah!!
