Lily had an official first haircut for which she sat very still. We were pleasantly surprised, because of our previous attempts at giving her bangs a little snip. It must have been the big cape, the big chair and the big mirrors that captured her attention just long enough for the hairdresser to trim her blond locks. Lily didn't really have much hair until 18 months, so we were only going for a trim.
As the hairdresser sprayed her hair down with water, Lily said, "That tickles" which was quite amusing for the whole salon. After finishing up and getting some candy, Lily jumped down and said "That's not so bad." Again the entire place erupted in laughter.
Haircuts were situations that "pre-Cochlear Implant" I wondered how we would do it so she could hear. Fortunately, it didn't present a problem at all. When the hairdresser was cutting one side, we just flipped the head piece down and as she moved to the other side we replaced the head piece and took the other one off. No problem. Lots of anxiety created over nothing.
