Hair cuts!

I took my kids to get haircuts today, and this was the first time either of them has had a haircut that wasn't from Aunt Kathryn (other than the really bad chop job I gave to Steven myself, of course). I took them to a place that specializes in kids cuts, and I think I will take them back there again. They give them toys, cookies and a video of choice while they get their hair cut, and a balloon when they are done. Steven still wasn't thrilled with a stranger touching him, but the man who cut his hair was very patient, and I'm sure it was way better than he would have done at a regular salon. And, more importantly, even with all of his wiggling and moving, his haircut still turned out okay. And the lady who cut Elise's hair gave her a "princess" hairstyle when she was done - Elise couldn't have been more thrillled. This was basically just a few curls in front, but give it a name like "princess hair" and Elise is sold. She couldn't stop looking at herself in the mirror. What a nut. Obviously, Kathryn is still the favorite "hair cutter" around here, but I am glad we have found an acceptable substitue for when she is not around since she does live an eight hour drive away.
