Hair Cut

Ella got her first hair cut a couple of weeks ago.  I had trimmed a curl here and there in the past when it looked especially uneven, but never the whole head at once... this resulted in her having a choppy/uneven mess.  I made an appointment at the salon that I go to, because I didn't want to take any chances at a kid salon or a cheap place (okay, that may sound a bit picky, but I have had WAY too many bad haircuts in the past with my curly hair, that I just wanted to get it right with Ella.  Some people just do not know how to handle curly hair!).

During.  Ella was too nervous to open her eyes.

After!  She did a great job.  Didn't take too much off, and put in some nice gradual layers.

After.  What a pretty girl I have!  I took some more shots of her during a recent photoshoot that I did for a product called TeeGee.  You can see more here.

Ella is a great girl.  So funny, smart, and nice.  Here are some things she has said that have made me laugh lately:

Telling me how I need to open a jar: "You need to pull really hard. Like really for major hard."

telling me about her circle shaped snack at school, that i packed:  "Everyone loved it so much.  All my friends said 'Oh Ella, I love it. I'm so impressed with you.'"  haha - i bet they all said that.

She lost her necklace and said:  "Maybe Dad can find it.  Or maybe Jesus or Santa.  They can help eachother!"

A little while ago I took Ella to Lowes with me before bed.  When we came out of the store, the sun was setting and I just said "So beautiful!" then Ella said "What?  Did you say my hair is beautiful?!"  Ha!  I guess she gets that a lot.

Her bottom is her "bobin"
everyone is "eve-e-one"

Cute girl.
