Properly Chastised and Patty's Haircut

Well, I have been properly chastised by both Becky and Laurie for not having blogged in awhile, so I am taking care of that by blogging. I promised over 2 weeks ago to post the pictures of Patty's first hair cut, and never got around to it (or, as my dad would say - I didn't choose to get around to it).

We were at the mall that night because Ashley had taken off his glasses while he was in the shower and Patty thought it would be great fun to try them on (by bending them any which way she could until they broke). We went to LensCrafters to have them fixed. The Mall here is owned by the same people who own the Sierra Vista Mall (and they were just as clever in naming it. It is called "The Mall at Columbia") It is quite a bit bigger (about the size of the Tucson Mall) and so is much more enjoyable to browse and see all there is to see. After we were done getting his glasses fixed, we just started wandering around. It has quite a few smaller shops along with the normal anchor stores. Towards the end of Patty's patience, what did my eye spy? A KIDS haircutting place (aptly named Cartoon Cuts). PERFECT! I hadn't taken Patty to get her much needed hair cut, because I wasn't sure how she would react in a normal place. This place was just the ticket I was looking for. SCORE!!!!

We walked in and were immediately impressed - Television's at every hair cutting station. All you had to do was tell them what video to put on, and WALLAH! magic! (LOL... at least that's what I think!!) Patty was immediately mesmerized watching a "My Little Pony" Video. YEAH!

This picture shows perfectly where her attention was the entire time her hair was getting cut -

right at the t.v. :) And she was definitely NOT happy when the lady cutting her hair got in front of her and the television:

Anyway, all of this typing to say that she has now had her very first hair cut, and all went well.

Hope everyone is having a great night/evening (depending on your time zone!)

Take Care!
