Lotus Maria's new haircut
I was pretty worried that the neighbors were going to call CPS. Every time we had to brush or wash or touch Lotus' hair she would scream and cry. One of us would have to pin her down to the ground and them she would try and crawl on her belly Israeli arm style to escape the evil detangler and comb. Sometimes yelling at the top of her lungs, "Stop that mommy, stop hitting me". Which can't sound good. I decided this was a battle I did not need.
Lotus has this chic French friend, Margeaux (and yes at 2 if you are French you can be chic) with adorable short hair. After one of these hair tussles I looked at Lotus and said "Do you want short hair like Margeaux?" "yes, mommy, yes" was Lotus' enthusiastic response. So we trucked on down to Snippity Crickets and said chop it off.
Here are some before, during and after photos.
Before
During
And very happy afterwards
Needless to say she loves it short and though it still has to be brushed it's no longer the traumatic event for all.
