A Calculated Kind Of Smart (And A First Haircut)

A Calculated Kind Of Smart (And A First Haircut)

by Jill March 18, 2015
written by Jill

When our dog Bruno had to wear the cone of shame for any reason (and there were many), he would just… sit there. Motionless. Shifty eyes. I lacked the compassion to feel bad for him. It was infinitely hilarious.

The fact that I got these shots without blur from shaking the camera while laughing must mean I have shock absorbers for arms because I had the same reaction as Lowell sat, motionless, SO suspicious with his shifty eyes, as he got his first haircut last week.

Not complaining! It was the cutest ever, and hands down the easiest first haircut we’ve been through. Also, the 2nd first haircut at Sweet & Sassy because this is what happens when you have a big sister who also needs a bang trim.

IMG_8855

Just sitting there… for, like, 15 minutes.

IMG_8863

Not trusting anyone enough to move.

IMG_8857

Except there was a noise when someone dropped something. It seemed to shake him from his catatonic state.

IMG_8866

But still, the suspicion remained.

Trust NO ONE with scissors to your head. Remain motionless, and perhaps they will move on before lopping off your ear.

This one is a calculated kind of smart.

She Grows With Glitter

by Jill March 4, 2014
written by Jill

IMG_0275

The first thing the hairstylist asked her was, “Do you want glitter in your hair?”

OF COURSE she did.

The minor issue was the hairstylist meant AFTER she finished. So Leyna spent the whole 15 minutes it took for her very first real haircut asking, “Where’s da gwitter? Is it puhpul? I wike puhpul! Is it up dere?” ::looks at scissors mid snip::

IMG_0281

We took the boys to Great Clips the weekend before, and she was quite disappointed that she didn’t get a haircut, too. So I thought I’d make it special, and take her to the place where she can get glitter in her hair, on her face, a purple hair extension AND a lollipop. At first, she cried when we pulled up in front.

“Dis is not da hair pwace!”

Don’t worry, she got over it.

IMG_0285

It was just a tiny trim. I made sure those sweet curls were preserved because they signify so much of her babyhood to me still. I remember when the first curl started to swirl itself at the nape of her chubby, infant neck.

IMG_0287

But no matter how long the curls stay, the babyhood slips further away each day. Just look at her. She’s 3…. and tomorrow she’s 13.

IMG_0295

And while I’m certain I’ll long for babyhood, at times, and the simplicity of that lone curl…

IMG_0297

I truly look forward to sharing more special moments with this little lady.

I mean, doesn’t she look TWELVE there? I think there’s something in that glitter.
