I took both of the kids in for haircuts today. It was actually Laurel’s first haircut. I was having fun with pigtails in her hair but she figured out how to tear them off so all of those teeny-weeny ponytail holders that look like orthodontic bands will have to wait. I really prefer Oscar’s hair longer, but he gets it cut just once a quarter or so and I know it will grow back.
