After two trim jobs at home, Livia was treated to a professional haircut by the very lovely, very talented stylist, Carrie Nickeson of C&A Images (she also happens to be one of my closest friends). Carrie, mother to twin four year olds, perched Livia on an extra block in the hotseat, outfitted her in a baby smock, then gave her toys for each hand and voila! the cut was completed in no time. It was the cutest thing this first-time mama has ever witnessed. I must say I was proud that my 11 month old sat so still and was so patient. That’s the thing with being a first-time mother, you think every first experience, every first activity, is just the greatest thing ever and that your child is the most amazing being ever to walk the face of this earth. Livia will have successfully completed her first year of life this Saturday, so I think I’m justified in letting my buttons burst with pride. These “firsts” only happen once, right? And this kid is just so darn cute…
