Katherine's hair has been getting quite long now for a couple of months, to the point that it's really quite wild and out of control:
Additionally, Katherine has become quite the master at removing any hair restraints-- bows, ponytail holders... in about 2 seconds. Her favorite time to take her hair tie out is in the middle of a meal, so she manages to get goopy, sticky food in her hair while she takes it all out. To top it all off, her hair was hanging into her eyes, so she couldn't see anything, and she'd never let you move it to the side.
To say the least, Mommy (and Daddy and pretty much everyone who takes care of Katherine) had enough.
So yesterday right when Katherine woke up from her nap, Mommy got her a big cup of warm chocolate milk and some cookies to help her sit still. Daddy brought a bunch of distracting toys down, and Mommy began cutting her hair:
It started off okay-- a little bit stressful, but not too bad. Then came Katherine's bangs. Mommy cut her bangs, and then ran out of the room screaming because Katherine looked so different. After 5 minutes of screaming in the bedroom, Mommy came down to finish the job (quick confession from Mommy-- after I finished cutting Katherine's hair I cried for half an hour because I was sure I ruined all of Katherine's baby pictures for forever).
Luckily after Mommy calmed down she realized Katherine's hair hadn't turned out nearly as awfully as she originally thought, and we're all relieved to have her hair out of her beautiful eyes:
We should also mention that Katherine did a great job with the haircut, and with all the special treats, certainly seems happy to repeat the adventure any time!

I hope this comment takes... cause I am not sure how to do this. Something about password, but they don't like mine.
But as I told you in a separate email. Katherine looks so darling with her new haircut. I like it much better than itvwas before...and it was cute then . Keep it that way....looks like a baby doll. Love. O.
Julie, you did a great job! Katherine looks even cuter than ever (if that's possible). Good job to Katherine for sitting still.
oceans of love,

Her hair looks great! I was laughing as I was reading your post because I can relate to it. I was too scared to cut Juliet's hair. She just got her first haircut and she is 2.5! Lori
