Haircut

I've written posts dealing with "haircuts" here and here and here before ... but that was always Vivian's definition of a haircut, which is really just a hairstyle.  Today, however, she got to know what a real haircut is ... because at 3 years and 3 months she finally needed her first real one (I've trimmed the ends of her hair before, but that doesn't really count)!

Vivian now has bangs (which she pushes away just as if the hair is still long) and Michelle trimmed about 3 inches off the overall length.

I can't say that Vivian smiled while she had her hair cut, but she held still quite nicely, as long as she was facing the mirror and could watch.

Barbie's Hairstyle

When I was a little girl, my Mom sometimes tried out different hairstyles on me (which we both enjoyed) and called me her "Barbie" for it (or something like that).  I'm pretty sure I was a little older than Vivian and had more/longer hair, but Vivian and I gave it a try today, anyway.  As expected, her hair still has to grow some more and my rusty fingers have to remember how to braid hair, but we actually managed to give Vivian a "hair cut" (that's what she calls a hair style - it'll still be a while before she needs an actual hair cut).  It was fun!
