Growing Up

Annie and I took Mimi to get a haircut on Tuesday. She has been needing it for a while but we have been putting it off because taking Mimi to a kids haircut place is kind of a challenge. Mimi’s last haircut was 6 months ago and when we took her then every time the hair stylist gets near Mimi starts crying a lot, kind of like whenever she goes to see a doctor. This time however we talked to Mimi beforehand saying that we are going to take her to get a hair cut, and she shouldn’t cry, it doesn’t hurt, and she needs to be brave, and afterwards we will go to the mall and play. Mimi said ‘ok, mei-mei won’t cry’ and exactly like she said she didn’t cry. She sat perfectly still and was very good. The hair stylist said that that’s when you know a child is growing up, when you can talk and reason out their fears. Anyways we were all very proud of Mimi and we took her to McDonalds to have her favorite chicken nuggets and fries even though we forbid her to eat too much of it. Here are some pictures of Mimi getting her haircut from before to afterwards.
