Kate's First Haircut

It was time. We were trying to let it just grow and be "natural", but it just got to be too much.

Let me just say that this was a very difficult decision. It was pretty much one of our very first parental decisions that embodies a basic value. Should we just let it go and she can be "all-natural" or do we cut it and attempt a more maintained and possibly cuter look? We wrestled with the decision for quite some time and it recently got to the point where she had become a decent representation of a mix between a 1970s rocker, a hippie with dreadlocks (the back of her head we affectionately call the "rat's nest"), and the quintessential mullet sporting kid. While we generally pride ourselves in doing our best go all-natural whenever possible (which inevitably turns into spending way too much money on organic and all-natural food), we caved on this one and administered the very first haircut (or should I say I caved, Jeff was hoping for the "natural" look).



Jeff and I both agree, the cut is pretty cute - although I have done some refining after this video was taking... I guess a cute haircut is a work-in-progress, much like current trends in haircuts. The mullet is probably coming back "in" soon and I'll regret having cut it!

Her hair looks great! You did a super job.

I need to trim Ty's hair near his ears, but it's really tough to do that since he moves his head to see what I'm doing all the time. Maybe I need to recruit some help to distract him.

Oh....Jeff does laundry!! Awesome!!! That chore is a bit of a sore subject in my home.

I hate to say it, but Jeff does so much more laundry than I do... It is also a point of contention in our house...
