We tried to get Zoe's hair cut at Snip-Its back in July. We assumed it would be fun and easy; instead it was a tantrum-filled experience. She has been very sensitive about her hair (remember the pigtails?), so Derek has been doing a lot of hair stuff here at home. We just started getting Zoe's bangs cut at our local Aveda salon following each of my haircuts. But even for that we just wheel her up to Miranda's station in the stroller and Miranda talks to her for a few minutes while she does a quick bang trim. The home haircuts that Derek has been giving Silas take a long time, so we decided to give Snip-Its another try today.
Both kids got a prize pass, even though Zoe wasn't getting a haircut. We'll definitely bring Silas there again! Here's the post-cut shot.
Following the haircut we did another do-over: the library. The first time I took them to the library I tried it alone. It was an epic fail, but the kids loved the books I hastily picked out. Of 9 books we checked out, they LOVED 7 of them and we read them multiple times a day for the last 3 weeks. I knew they would be sad to return those books, so we said goodbye to each book as we dropped them in the return slot. Today it was all 4 of us, so Derek dealt with Silas who is a bit more wild in these circumstances, and Zoe and I picked out 12 new books. It was still a pretty quick trip, but it was much more enjoyable than last time!
This place is awesome!
Silas was a tiny bit hesitant at first - he didn't want to get in the chair. But after the hairdresser, Lisa, offered him a cookie he was ready to go!

What a great morning of do-overs!
