There've been a lot of changes going on over here, starting with Emily's first haircut which we did a while back.
Rather than make a big production out of it and take her to a salon, we just chopped off a few inches after her bath one night. (Actually it was after a shower - that's Emily's preferred method of washing these days. The girl loves showers.) Since change is clearly hard on me, Matt did the snipping while Em watched Dinosaur Train. He did a good job, but there was no way of saving the natural softness on the ends that only comes from those first tufts of hair. I was sad to see them go. We saved a clump in a ziploc. I'm not sure why, just seemed like the right thing to do.
It's funny to think it all started out as a wispy mohawk. Which filled in so nicely. But it was getting long, and Charlotte was oh so fond of pulling on it. And the beginning of fall just seemed like the right time to trim it up.
