Dear Layla and Noah,
We took you for your first haircuts yesterday. I expected Noah to cry and have a total meltdown, but he surprised me. As you will see, it was Layla that panicked. She cried the second she was placed in the chair.
Eventually Layla calmed down. It actually looked like she was starting to enjoy it. Charles, the haircutter guy, was very patient and gave her toys to hold. I love how she watches herself in the mirror.
Before he got started, Charles suggested that I let him trim her hair so that it is even all around. He showed me the shortest piece that he would use as a guide. It would have made your hair just to your ears. NO WAY! I told him that I was only comfortable with taking a tiny amount off. He also wanted to cut bangs. NO WAY! Charles may have been nice, but he had some crazy ideas for your hair.
Then it was Noah's turn. Brian, the haircutter guy, let Noah hold two toy trains. Noah didn't get upset at all. The trains must have been calming or something. He actually seemed to enjoy getting his hair cut. Everyone giggled when he tried to lay back.
Before Noah's haircut, I asked Brian to take just a little hair off. I wanted him to have a clean hairdo for his birthday. I also told Brian not to worry about using clippers. Brian did it anyway. Oh well. It was during this part that Noah started to get upset. I don't know if he was upset because the back was being cut or that Brian was using the clippers.
You both looked beautiful before the haircuts and you look beautiful after.
Love,
Mommy
