A Rite of Passage

This might look like another happy visit to the hair dresser, as Bell beams in her racecar chair.

And it looks like lots of fun having your hair cut in a pink car, like Lady.

But this is how the trip REALLY started: every parents' nightmare... an abandoned pair of scissors admist shreds of paper and HAIR

No girls to be found, but there is a trail of hair from the kitchen to the basement...

And so off to the hairdressers we go to see if we can salvage their hair. Here is the before. You can't see the stair step layers along the left side of Lady's hair... but they were there.

And Bell didn't have layers... just a bunch of 7 inch bangs right in the front, cut halfway into the back. Daddy begged for them to keep the length and try "layering."


In the end... they both ended up with blunt shoulder-length bobs... perfect for summer.


Bell smiles shyly as she adjusts to her new do.

It could have been much, much worse... (shaved bangs?) so we celebrated their healthy new looks with balloons and lollipops.

Best friends... they play together, sleep together, and cut each other's hair together.
