A Haircut for Alex too

So Alex has been chewing/sucking on strands of her hair (it's that long)...














...so I decided that she needed a haircut to remove that possibility and also for the heat of summer. So after I collected her from pre-school this afternoon, we headed off to the hairdresser. Whilst initially happy/excited to have her hair cut, once we were there and waiting, she said she wanted to sit on my knee to have it cut - something I didn't want to happen as that's how it was cut the last time and it was quite awkward. So I convinced her that if she sat in the big girl chair then I'd let her take a photo at the end.

Here she is waiting her turn.














She was very interested to watch the two blokes having their hair cut while she waited - especially when she heard the electric clippers buzzing.













Then she was in the chair, getting a "ride" in her sea-cape.









Sebastien waited very patiently the whole time - must have been sufficient traffic to keep him amused.










Then the cutting began. It was the same hairdresser who had done my haircut in the morning.










I have no reason to include this photo other than it is cute - she is showing me a "fish face".










Her favorite parts (aside from the chair-ride) were having the clip in her hair and having it blowdried at the end - at least, they are the parts that were recounted to Daddy.










The finished product.












And for being such a good client - looking down when asked, holding her head straight and not squirming - she was "suitably" rewarded. The lollipop didn't last very long.














Um, oh yes. And that photo that I promised she could take? Well here it is:
