First Haircut

Sophie had her first haircut today. This is how she looked in the beginning:

This is how she looked by the end:
In case you can't tell from her lovely facial expressions (or lack thereof), dubiousness was Sophie's response of choice throughout the entire experience. But she did not scream, or cry, or pull away - or even wriggle around. Considering Sophie's aversion to strangers, we were expecting more of a...well, a reaction from her. However, we were mistaken; she simply sat and endured. She obeyed all commands (ie, "look down," "look up," "look straight," etc.) and otherwise stayed as still as a stone. The only time she made a peep was to ask occasionally, "Almost done?"

The kid next to her screamed his head off the minute the hairdresser laid a finger on him. I refrained from shouting "My kid is better than your kid!" at the mother, but I was singing the taunt repeatedly inside my head.

Proud Mama day.
