Anna's 1st Haircut

Above: All Done, But Still Screaming!

Check out this video clip of Anna Banana's first professional hair cut. We just got her bangs trimmed. I don't ever, ever want to cut the back of her hair. This was a month ago, right before we left for Cory's wedding, and I did not want to risk one of my usual bang-trims in the bathroom with kitchen shears on her. We went to one of those special kiddy hairshops. I even tried to bribe her with a Belle princess crown, which she refused to accept from me. She was so angry with us all for subjecting her to this ordeal! How dare we!!!

Am I a bad Mommy for thinking the whole thing was pretty much hysterical? I did not feel bad for her in the least. I guess it's probably because I can tell the difference between when she is scared and when she is just having a hopping mad fit. And could the hairdressers have been any nicer or more accomodating? She was kicking the poor lady the entire time! And they just kept blowing bubbles and trying to calm her down.

Now, I know I should not compare my two kids, but when they are opposites like mine, it is really difficult not to do so. Check out this picture of Jonathan (at 18 months) getting his first real haircut. Notice the difference? He sat so still and stared at himself in the mirror the entire time, with his boo (pacifier) in place.
