Riley's 1st haircut!!

I finally decided it was time. Actually, it was on a whim. I have been trying so hard to let Riley's hair grow out, but the poor girl is not blessed with long flowing locks like you see on a lot of kid's heads. She rocks the wispy, fine, half straight half curly do. Most days if she doesn't have it in a ponytail, she looks like a feral child. I saw all these little girls at the playground with cute little bobs & decided it was finally time to throw in the towel on the long hair for now. My sister, the enabler that she is, egged me on. I did my research & found the best kids salon around. You can have any old hack cutting my daughter's hair for the first time! It was the cutest little place near the beach in La Jolla. The front of the store was a specialty toy store & the back was the salon. TVs, cute themed chairs like a fighter jet & a motorcycle. I was soooo nervous & was so worried I would regret it. I was just waiting for Riley to throw a complete fit when the lady came at her. Luckily, they also came stocked with lollipops & she was thrilled just to sit there, watch a movie, & eat her lollipop. She didn't even look away from the tv the entire time! In the end, she looked beyond adorable. It is so much fuller now & has some shape to it. Hopefully, it will grow out more evenly & she will wake up one day with long flowing locks. Who knows though. Her haircut is spunky, just like her. It might just have to stay that way!
