New year, new hair

The girls and I drove down to a new hair salon today. The place we had been going to was fine, but this salon catered to children, so I thought I'd see what it was like.

The girls loved it. Amelia loved all the toys in the lobby (where they were playing The Little Mermaid). Diana loved sitting in a white Mustang while she got her hair cut. Even when she's sitting on my lap Diana is usually fussy and fidgety when her hair is being cut, but she was great today.

Whoever came up with the concept of these hair salons for kids came up with a great idea by playing kids' movies on screens on each side of the children's chairs. This means that instead of constantly twisting and turning her head left and right Amelia could focus on Ratatouille or Cars.

On top of everything else, both girls got their hair put up in tiny rubber bands which made them look adorable and very girlish. No one's going to call Amelia "my son" again for a while.
