Four Years, One Month

That's how long it took our little girl to get her beautiful blond hair cut, as she paid her first visit to the salon today! As you likely saw in recent pictures, Isabelle's hair reaches close to her waist, in fact the other day she put on her pajama shirt and it even stuck out the bottom! Mainly we were looking to get it trimmed just to make sure it stays healthy and to ease the workload of the nightly de-tangling job. So off we went to see Nelson, who has known us before we were married and who we knew would take good care of our little princess.

Isabelle decided she didn't want Nelson to wash her hair, so she skipped that step but happily sported her apron and sat very still while he worked. She had about 2 inches taken off and our unfounded fear of her losing her special curls was just that, unfounded. She and her lovely blond tresses are doing just fine. In fact, Nelson captured every last hair for her special box, it's amazing how white blonde it is! He could not believe she's never had her hair cut, commenting that this was the healthiest hair he had ever worked on! Wait a minute, you mean we could have waited even longer!? See you next year, Nelson!
