Amaya's First Hair Cut

Back in Steve's "long hair days," he had these BEAUTIFUL long curls. Simply beautiful - but completely wasted on a guy. We hope that Amaya will take after Steve and have beautiful long curls, but as of last week, her hair was just a long bunch of wispy snarls. We were both a little hesitant to get her hair cut because we didn't want to lose the curls that she did have, but it was getting too hard to manage and it needed to be done.


We took Amaya to Pam at Hair's What We Do, to clean up her mess of waves, curls, and snarls. (Pam has been doing my mom's hair since forever, cuts Arwen, Annika, and Lydia's hair and did my hair for our wedding - she's amazing!) Amaya was "SO EXCITED" to get her haircut, although she really had no clue what was going to happen.


Pam couldn't remember the last time she had done a "First Haircut" and had to dig through her "bibs" to find one for Amaya. Even though it wasn't a girlie "bib" Amaya still liked the cars!


Amaya was pretty stoic throughout the whole thing. She was a little surprised when Pam would squirt her hair with water, but overall did great. We weren't sure if she was enjoying herself at all, but a week later, she talks about how much fun it was to get her hair cut, so I guess she liked it!

All done and as cute as ever! I think she looks older, don't you?

A shot of the back - there's still a few little curls, right?!?
