Ella's First.....

Haircut!
You guessed it Jen and Stella! Last Friday Ella, Roc and I headed to Ellensburg for Ella's haircut. Abby knows a lady who does a good job with children's hair, and since every time I mentioned a haircut Ella cried, I thought that if we did it with her cousins it wouldn't be so bad. So after a stop at Starbucks, we headed to the hairdressers. Karis went first and sat in the chair and did not move or make a sound, Ella watched and seemed to be ok. Then it was her turn, we got her in the chair and from the third picture below you can see all was well, but then the cape was put on and she practically jumped from the chair. Rather than me leaving and letting Abby deal with it, I decided to hold her and did not make her wear the cape. She clung to me pretty much the whole time, saying "hold you" , which really means hold me. Hailey, Karis and Avery had a gift for her when she was done so Hailey would show it to her and was able to distract her for a few seconds hear and there. The hairdresser spent a lot of time on this and did her best to get it even despite Ella moving and clinging to me. I went for really short so we won't have to do this for a while and go through the drama again! I don't know who was more relived when it was over, Ella or Me!




A couple of before shots.


Looking relaxed at first, notice she is wearing her red boots, with pink pants. She loves these and wants to wear them with everything!



Almost done....
Finally done, posing with her cut hair and present, which was a book about getting a hair cut.
