Just yesterday our church secretary was commenting on how long Delia's hair was getting. I have been having some hesitation about getting it cut, though, one reason being that it's taken her so long to even grow hair! Another haircut dread was knowing how sensitive Delia is about her head. She tolerates me brushing and pulling it back in a clippie for about 6 seconds every day before she starts screaming and running away.

Today we went on a family outing that had us in Sacramento and when we saw the Cool Cuts 4 Kids place right next to the Panera Bread where we ate lunch, we up and decided it was time for Delia to have a real hairstyle. We walked inside and were instantly optimistic that this would be a great experience, instead of a traumatic one. Fire truck shaped stools, each station having its own TV with whatever you wanted to watch on it, legos, trains, coloring books and other toys for distraction, Delia ran in excitedly. And as the gal started spraying, combing, cutting, styling and even blow drying, Delia didn't even notice! Her eyes were glued on Dora and her hands on the steering wheel. We walked out with a much more grown up looking Delia, lollipops and a keepsake certificate with some locks of Delia's baby hair.

Love the haircut! She is such a cutie!
Very cute! She does look grown up. Glad to hear it was a good experience for her. It has a nice shape around her sweet little face. Precious!
Love, MOM
