Guess who got her 1st haircut today?

Here is my wild child before we left the house this morn.  With her recorder.  {bad choice mom.  bad, bad choice....}  She loves it.  {and uses it way.too.often!}

And here is the stinker pot right before we chopped off her locks!!!  At the Blue Mambo Salon.

If you are in the Houston metro area, with curly girl hair, I will highly suggest our curl specialist, the lovely Miss Gerri Curtis, currently cutting and styling out of the Blue Mambo Salon.  She knows what she is doing.  Heeeeyyy Gerri!!!

She pulled Layla's hair out - curl by curl - and snipped off the ends.  That's it!  Not wet, but dry!  I was watching in amazement.

Gerri made me feel really good because she said "you have done a really, really good job at taking care of her hair!"  That's all she had to say to make this momma feel really proud.  I know that all of the hard work I put into those locks...it has actually paid off!  

Here is my fresh and so clean, clean curly girl now!!!   

So we really did not cut off her locks...do you think I would really do that?  I'll answer for you...hell nah!!!  Nope, not while I am in charge.  And I have at least another 10 years before I give up those reigns. 

This is what's left....just the memories. 

Sweet, suh-weet memories.
