Locks of Tears.. Wait not anymore!

Suhana has a beautiful head of hair..we did shave it when she was a couple weeks old, and since then she has had 4 haircuts. (if you count the impromptu one Avikar gave her, when he gave her bangs. Let's not go there!) The first haircut was ok, since she was too small to understand what they were doing. The second haircut, is forever imprinted in my head. I am holding down a screaming child and she won't sit still enough for the lady to cut it. The third haircut was just as bad, and this time I made Avikar come with and hold her down. (I was pregnant with Jiana, so I wasn't going to fight a very strong toddler). She was sobbing and sniffling afterwards for a loooooooong time.  After that we decided not to get her haircut EVER again. Until, a couple weeks ago, where the mane had just become too much and the ends were really dry. So, I started talking to her about it, telling her how she is a big girl now, and the lady will cut her hair slowly, and it doesn't hurt. I also figured out that the reason she hated it so much is the water they spray on her hair before they cut it, makes her MAD. She doesn't like to wash her hair in the tub so how is this any different?

So, we took the plunge and went to this place I found good reviews at and I brought bribes with me (Chocolate) and it went surprisingly well. There were a few tears in the beginning, but once the chocolates came and a little bit of water, she was very well behaved. Thank God! So, we crossed a milestone..no more tears at haircuts! This is big for us, because with the amount of hair she has been blessed with, we will be having lots of them!
