She begged me to do it!




I have given Ben several hair cuts now that Claire has watched me do and every time she asks me if I will cut her hair as well. Today she begged me to do it because "You always cut daddy's hair and Ben's hair and never me!" Her hair was quite long and when wet touched the crack of her bottom. It was time. I have been putting this off for so long because I love that baby curl she had at the end of her hair and I love little girls with long hair! It, to me, keeps them looking little. I never thought I would ever be the one to cut her hair because I am super afraid of womens hair. My mom keeps asking me to cut her hair and I always tell he that I will never do it because women, typically, care a lot about how their hair looks. My husband and son could care less how their hair looks so I do what I have taught myself to do and it usually turns out fine.

Well I think her hair turned out pretty well for not having a clue on what I was doing! I was a nervous wreck and it took me a little over 30 minutes to get all the way through the cut. She was amazing! She sat still the entire time and never complained at all. I was so happy with her and her ability to do so well! These days it is tough in this house since she has turned into a sass factory and it takes everything I have not to toss her out the window most days. I really thought it was going to be a struggle to get her to just sit let alone be able to take scissors to her head.

She has spent most of the day looking int the mirror and was so proud to show daddy, who had no idea what was going on at home, her marvelous new do!

Hey Katie! You are amazing--so many talents. The kids' room is so cute and Claire's new do is adorable. Next time I need a haircut I'm driving to Portland. Can't wait to get the news on the impending Larsen addition. Love you all, Kris
