Just Like Grandma..

About 6 months ago, G and I took Grandma B. to get her hair cut.  G was in AWE as she watched the hair stylist wash Grandma's hair!  I didn't really occur to me until that day, but G has never really had a "real" hair cut.  Any place I've ever taken her, the stylist just combs her hair, sprays a little bit of water on it, and cuts it dry.   

Well...the blinders were on no more!  G had seen how the other 1/2 lives and she would not rest until she too had experienced a hair cut "like Grandma's." Since then, she's been asking me to take her to get her hair cut at the place I get my hair cut...every time we pass it...and we pass it every day.  The child is nothing if not persistent :)

I delayed because I assumed they would charge a lot.  Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the gal that cuts my hair - but she ain't cheap!  It is definitely a "treat" for me, and I just didn't see dropping mucho dinero on a kiddo cut.  Imagine my surprise when I called and found out that they charge the exact same as the kiddo salon across town that I took her to last time. And most importantly - you get the full haircut experience :)

Check out that smile!  She was shaking with excitement :)

Ta-Da!

She was super excited when we left!  "Mommy, we both get our hair cut at the SAME place!"  As she was saying that, it occurred to me that I'd better enjoy these sweet days when she thinks that getting her hair cut at the same place as Mommy is a good thing :)
