Laela’s Long Awaited Haircut

Back to Wednesday, guys! After Waverly’s time at kindergarten, the kids came home from school, and shortly thereafter, Laela and I headed out Saskatoon for her long awaited haircut!! 

Laela has wanted a haircut for a pretty long while. She had braids last summer, and then I dragged my feet, haha! And then in the new year, Frozen came up, and we signed a contract not to make any drastic changes to her physical appearance. I kid you not, the day Frozen was over, Laela told me she couldn’t wait for her haircut! So, we booked one. And that happened this week! 

We drove in together, just the two of us, and took some “before” pictures. At first, it was to document the length of her hair, obviously. But it grew from there because she is just so stinking silly! Performing really woke that girl up in some ways, and she is way goofier and more theatrical and posey!! So. We had fun. 

Finally, it was time!! Laela got her hair washed in the sink for the first time. She loved it, haha! Thought it was hilarious

Man she’s cute. And she just got cuter. 

Carlinna did the initial cut, and then blowdried it all up before she’d do the finishing touches. Laela loves that stuff. The salon experience. Its blatantly obvious 💜 

As I predicted, Laela would absolutely not let anything be changed after that point. I think Carlinna was allowed to trim a piece or two in the front to get it perfectly even, but that was it! She loved it SO much! 

Goodness she looks JUST like my cousin, Elise, here! Crazy! 

All in all, it was a total success 💜 She is SO happy. She says its light and fluffy and she is SO much happier. It doesn’t pull when she puts her backpack on. It doesn’t hurt to brush. She seems so much brighter. I am so happy for her 💜
