Zoe got her first Aveda haircut at my salon this morning. She has had only the back and sides of her hair cut one time back in November of 2010, and she was starting to look VERY shaggy!
Because Zoe can be a little, well, high maintenance, we've been talking about this haircut for two weeks now. She would say "Zoe turn", "nip nip" (no sweetie, that something different; it's snip-snip), and "Randa do it" (referring to Miranda, who has been doing quick bang trims while Zoe sits in the stroller for a few months now). Every time we talked about it she would pick up a handful of hair and hold it straight up off her head. I was praying everything would go smoothly.
We scheduled Zoe's appointment coincident with my appointment today, and Derek brought them in when my cut was just finishing up. Zoe hopped right up on my lap and Miranda put a gown on her.

Miranda needed her to look down at times, so she handed me a Teen magazine (ugh) to show her. We looked at prom dresses.
Zoe did not say a single word during the entire haircut.
As soon as we were done she hopped down and grabbed her snack.
By the time we left the salon she was narrating the entire experience. Her new pixie 'do is adorable (we cut a solid 4 inches off) and I don't think it could've gone any smoother. It was a win for everyone, including all of the customers getting services done in the salon on a busy Saturday morning, who were spared the tantrum that very well could have been.
Next we went to the library to get another round of books. We've been going every 3 weeks and we check out about 10 books at a time. They really love going there, and they especially love getting new books so often! On our way out of the library we saw ambulance A17 parked in the square. Derek wanted to say hi and show off the kids, who in turn thought that seeing an "ambance" up close was the coolest thing ever!
The guys in the truck were so nice, when Silas said "lights on" they were happy to oblige. Zoe is so mad in this last picture because I turned the stroller around for a picture and all she wanted to do was see the lights.
A17 got a high priority call and so they took off in a hurry, complete with lights AND sirens...
