Sophie's First Haircut & A Cousin Playdate

Sophie had her very first haircut this morning!

Only in the last month or so has she seemed to need it because of increased tangles and ragged looking ends, so I'd been waiting as long as possible for this day to come.  Here's a before pic from the back.

We went into downtown G-town to the Shear Delight where I've been going for cuts with Rachel, per a recommendation from my sister.  She does a great job and I love that she's close and reasonably priced.  I actually used to babysit Rachel when she was little!  She's my brother Zach's age.  

Rachel did a great job with Sophie, who was thrilled with all of the wild-print equipment and pink cape Rachel used.  :)

The staff were so good to Sophie.  Sophie noticed a rack of nail polish on one of the walls and commented on her favorite "polishes".  So they sent her home with a mini color and top coat as well as a sucker.  And for ME, they collected some of her first haircut clippings into foil, filled out a "child's first haircut" certificate for the baby book and told me the first hair cut is FREE!  So nice!!  We'll definitely be returning there for Sophie's future haircuts.

The "after" shot of the back.  So much healthier looking! 

On our way home from the haircut, we picked up Mya & Stella for a morning playdate.  Craig had taken Will out for some of their own bonding time and it was just us girls at home.  The three little ladies all got mini manicures with Sophie's new, free polish. 

They patiently waited for it to dry... 

...and then it was time for some yoga, per Sophie's request.   

"Rocking horse".  (They were grabbing their ankles and rocking on their bellies.) 

Lots of dress up took place throughout the playdate and then Will came home in time for lunch with his cousins before I took Mya & Stella home for nap.
