Naomi's 1st Salon Haircut

On Sunday morning, as we were getting ready for church, we had a little "do-it-yourself haircut action" around here. Naomi found a pair of kids' scissors and cut jaggedy areas in the front of her hair. I threw a couple of barrettes into her hair, thinking that very soon we needed to fix the mess she'd made. Matt suggested we take her to a salon.


The next day, we got a coupon for a new Great Clips salon about 1/2 mile away, so yesterday I took Naomi for her haircut. I asked for Naomi to have bangs (for the first time ever!) and a trim to the rest of her hair. (It did feel a bit like rewarding her for cutting her own hair, but she's been instructed not to *ever* cut her own hair until she's old enough to know how to do it right. And that would be when she's a grown-up.)


As soon as her bangs were cut, I thought how much more she looks like Marissa did at that age. She already looks quite similar, but with bangs it's even more accentuated!




This is Naomi, just a few moments ago. She posed with what Marissa called her "blog smile" when I told her I was putting the photo here on my blog. :) We all like her bangs a lot, and she's been spending a lot of time in front of our closet mirrors, admiring her haircut, dancing, singing--very happy-Naomi-type behavior. So I'd say she likes her new haircut a lot!
