After a few years of joking about Eve not needing a haircut until she’s at least seven years old, my definition of “need” seems to have changed. Instead of waiting for it to be in her face (well, one long piece already is!) I decided that if it takes me more than five minutes to get the tangles out each night, maybe it needs a trim! She’s great about standing still and being patient each night, but it was time for change. I also thought that instead of laughing about her hair and calling it “crazy” for many more years, I thought maybe I should be responsible and actually take care of her hair! :)

Eve's tangled mess

After lots of detangling.

Smiling Eve :)

Eve in the chair. She was super excited, but got shy and quiet when the moment arrived.

She's so pretty

It's still pretty curly when wet.

Lex also got his hair cut today. He was not as calm and cooperative as she was.

I tried to get a nice after photo, but got this instead :)

After haircuts we went grocery shopping. It was a busy morning! Eve fell asleep on the floor during quiet time.

Tired Eve

She fell asleep and I grabbed the camera. I love this peaceful baby face.

After quiet time / nap time we went to the dentist! Busy day. At the dentist I learned that Lex’s top two 6yr molars are coming in, which explains his constant drooling, and why we have to tell him a million times a day to get his hand out of mouth. Apparently he’s teething! I wonder if it also explains his current round of total obstinance?!

I like hearing that I'm doing a great job with the teeth brushing. They both got compliments on their clean teeth :)
