LaRue had her first haircut today. It happened much earlier than The Princess, about 20 months earlier. But it wasn't because her hair was too long. In fact, we were still trying to model the baby mullet and bring it back in style (not by choice, though). Yes, my kids have known since ages 3 and 2 what a mullet is, thanks to The Princess.
Anyhow, unfortunately I had to give LaRue a haircut today. I was hoping that whatever food she added to it on Monday morning would have washed or worn itself out by now after 4 baths or so. That was wishful thinking.
And, unfortunately, Cookie Monster was right there observing my barber skills. All scissors will be moved up another few feet today.
I'm not sure if the culprit was gum eggs or imitation Peeps delivered by Mr. Easter Bunny. Actually, it was Mrs. Easter Bunny. Maybe I'll send in a compliant email to her.
The food was not just stuck in one spot like I did when I was little. LaRue either stretched the gum or candy out and laid it on her sweet little head or rolled around in a string of it. It was stuck in her hair, stretching around the entire back of her head.
I won't have any cute pix of her crying during her first haircut. Or a photo of her sucking on a hair-covered sucker.
Chances are we won't have a mullet either, since that hairstyle is LONGER in the back and shorter in the front.
Or, as my kids say "Business in front. Party in the back."
