It had to be done...

I know both grandmas are going to have heart attacks, but we HAD to cut Kyra's hair. She is almost 3, and we have never cut it. Her hair is SUPER thin, and very wispy, and she still has some little bald spots. So it looks okay for the first 5 min after the bathtub, but after that it starts going crazy. She even won best "Bed Head" at the ward party pajama party last year. So our very sweet friend came over tonight, and gave Kyra a cute little pixie cut! It is super cute!It is pretty short but looks really cute with bows and ribbons. The friend who cut it brought a bow with her, just so we could see what the hairstyle would look like with accessories. The top picture is the before (after a nap), and the bottom is after the haircut, with Kyra admiring herself in the mirror.

Kyra's reaction to getting her hair cut was both a little sad, but funny. Just before Camy started, I asked her if she was ready, and she took a deep breath and said "It won't hurt very much? Will she have to cut off my fingers?" It always amazes me what little kids see and hear, and then how it process through their little minds. But Kyra was great. I just put on a movie, and she sat really still. So as far as first haircuts go, I don't think it could of gone any better.

Well - the little "Beanert" looks great! When I was little I had the opposite problem as Kyra. I had too much hair and it was totally curly and unruly. So, I had a Pixie cut until 4th grade. Mine wasn't as cute!

Ohhhhhhhhh she's just so cute. With all that red hair. You know red heads are a dying breed. So be proud of your daughters hair, my mother always wanted a red head.
My sister dying her hair red was the closest she got LOL

I think she looks precious!

My sister and I had pixies once. They were necessary after we tried to cut each others hair. Only we had stick straight hair so we looked like little boys...sad story, I know.:)

(I totally cracked up at the "Bed-head" award....)
