Claire's first haircut

I can't believe I used to think that trimming Claire's fingernails was tough. I have a new perspective of "tough" after this morning's haircutting experience. Claire was understandably upset about the snipping sound of scissors around her head, and she was fidgety and vocal beyond belief. Add to that my great anxiety about accidentally severing Claire's ears and fingers, and you've got a really good time! I was so wound up I was the one who basically ended up having a tantrum instead of my toddler girl. We got through it, and the end product wasn't too bad:














This is Mommy trying to comfort Claire after all the haircutting drama.








Claire watched Elmo videos and ate kit-kat bars.



This was taken early on, before all the yelling from mother and daughter.
