Ellie's First Hair Cut Spring 2008

Tracy and Ellie showing off their long hair before getting it

cut. Mine wasn't all one length so I couldn't donate to Locks

of Love, but Ellie did.

Lots to keep Cam busy while he waited. He really

liked this fish rocking chair

The much loved elephant chair

Locks of Love to be made into a wig

And I thought she was shy......

A better look at Ellie's final hair cut style Well, for the first 5 years I cut Ellie's hair.....but just trims. She really liked her long hair. We had talked about donating to Locks of Love when she did decide to cut it, but she kept putting that off. Until kindergarten play really got it all tangled and it had to be brushed out well. Lots of the girls in her class have short hair and I convinced her it would be easier to comb. So, in we went. We went to a kids salon in Chico which is just fun, fun, fun. Lots of toys, a t.v., and the elephant chairs to sit in. Balloon, candy, and the best part for Ellie.....spray glitter in her hair. She liked donating it for Locks of Love, too. Recently she adjusted to the easy combing out of her bob cut and started complaining again so I talked her into going even shorter in back and now she can comb her own hair! She currently has an 'A' line cut so it is just below her chin in the front and gets shorter in the back. The lady in the picture is very good with the kids and we go to her each time. Since Ellie has a 'style' now I am afraid to touch it with the scissors! My mistakes would show!
