I wish I had a great comparison photo, but I had to cut Naomi's hair immediately and only had time to grab the scissors. Not the camera. It took all of about 20 seconds to lop off the remainder of the rat tail she had grown. I kept it around because it looked super cute all curled up when I put it in pigtails or a ponytail, which I do every single day. But, my friend Ashley saw Naomi with her hair down the other day and mentioned a bob cut would suit her and I haven't been able to get it out of my head. New baby, less time, easier hair cut, win-win. Yes, the pigtails may be littler when we do them, but at least I don't have to do them every single day for her to look presentable! After bath today, I was seized by a serious need to cut it NOW! Why didn't I do this forever ago? Much better. Trust me! What a difference those couple of inches were making! Thanks for the outside perspective, Ashley! I wonder how long I'd have let her mullet-looking hairdo go... poor girl! So here's the after. For the before, just imagine about two extra inches in the middle of the back, looping around looking rat-ish.
Lawson is also due for a cut, but he's not really interested in sitting still for that today. He's busy being a train conductor being chased by a dinosaur as they both run around screaming, "The dinosaur is coming! The dinosaur is coming! Go away, dinosaur!!!"
He's also busy
driving crashing his cars on the coffee table. Perhaps when I bribe him with a lolipop (or as Lawson calls it, a "ladypop"), he'll let me spiff up his do as well!
So, so, so cute!!! I love me a little bob! Since Eleanor seems to have straight hair I can't wait to do the same to her!
ReplyDeleteit looks very cute!
ReplyDeleteI know this post was about a haircut, but the dinosaur thing cracked me up! The oldest of the family I nanny for is convinced that dinosaurs are the fastest creatures on the planet and impossible to get away from. Yes, they still exist. And when I'm cleaning she yells over the loud vacuum "faster!!! the dinosaur is after you! You have to clean faster!!" or if we're running and playing she'll say "I'm so fast! Faster than the dinosaur!!" so so cute!
