Time for a Trim

I was originally going to grow Ruth's hair out, but she refuses to wear clips or pony tails for any length of time. So we went to get her first haircut. Ruth climbed in the chair with no problems but as I was talking to the hairdresser, Ruth became nervous and scooted out of the chair. We bribed her with a sucker but she still didn't want anything to do with getting her haircut. I tried to sit with her too but nope. Shawna, the hairdresser, thought we could try again later in the day but I figure she would react the same way.

For those who know Ruth, she doesn't throw huge tantrums but when she does get upset, it is short lived and she comes out of it rather quickly. Not that she threw a fit at Cost Cutters, but she did fuss. As she was standing by the door holding her sucker, I asked her ONE more time, "Do you want to get your haircut?" She said in her sweet little voice, "Yes." and walked over to the chair. She climbed right up and Shawna put on the animal covered cape. Snip, Snip and 15 minutes later Ruth's first haircut was over. As you can see from the 'after' photo, Ruthie likes her new look.
