So, Maggie got her first haircut last weekend on my birthday. It was not her most favorite thing. It could almost be compared to a visit to the doctor, even though the place we went (pigtails and crew cuts) was made just for kiddie dos. There are games, bright colors, movies and even fun barber chairs to sit in. Maggie, however, did not care for any of these tantalizing details. This face pretty much paints a picture of the entire experience. Kudos to the girl that cut her hair though she gave a very nice little trim to a very upset and wiggly baby.
This is one of those fun chairs that Maggie did not sit in during her haircut. But, we did get a picture for the blog because it was so cute. Just a side note, but if you'll notice in this picture Maggie is glaring across the room. SHe is staring down the girl that cut her hair and is making sure she stays way on the other side while she pilots her cankerworm duster (just a little Charlotte humor).
Last sunday Maggie wore her sailor dress for the first time to church. I am so excited that she can now where dresses to church because she is not crawling and dresses don't slow her down like they did when she was on her knees.
In the world of a toddling tot sadly comes injury. But, that is a small price to pay when freedom is at your fingertips. Maggie has scraped her knees several times since she has learned to walk and not once has she cried. To our amazement she just gets right back up and is on her way again. At first I thought maybe she had some rare condition where she can't feel pain, but it turns out she is just a brute walker.

knox has majorly scraped up knees, and i, too, was amazed that not more tears were shed. i think it makes me more sad than him. thanks for the haircut post...i have thought about taking knox, but i'm SURE that he would have the same reaction and probably worse, so i'm trying to do it myself for now...yikes! :) happy spring to the dirks!
Berit got his 1st haircut just after Christmas and surprisingly did a great job- he had a bag of potato chips! Since then I've tried to trim it-impossible task. Last week we gave him an ice-cream cone outside thinking that would distract him, but he still screamed- does not help that we have 2 neighbors that work for DSS! Thankfully we know them well and they thought it was funny! It is uneven, but trimmed!
Yes, yes, I too share in the haircut woes. Jayne Mac has never had enough hair to actually need a "real" haircut. But, Asher has tons and has had 4 haircuts already. And headed for another one this week. He doesn't love it either, but the trick for him is putting him next to someone with foils in their hair...works every time! I think he forgets he is having his hair done, and is just trying to figure out what the heck is going on with all the foil! Hey, whatever it takes! Good luck next time! Oh yeah, she looks adorable, no matter how much of a stink she put up!
