Asia's first professional haircut

We decided to go as a family to get our hair cut. Great Clips was supposed to be open at 9 AM. We wanted to get there as soon as it opened so there would be less of a wait. Turned out that they didn't open right away because the hairdresser didn't even leave her hours til 9 AM from the suburbs, according to the receptionist. So we went down the street to Fantastic Sam's. John got his haircut first so the kids could watch. The hairdresser was so slow! Then another hairdresser came in and she said she was the one who did kids more often. So I had her cut Asia's hair. The hairdresser was pretty fast, but the cold water from the spray bottle to wet Asia's hair down got Asia crying. She stopped for a little bit when I gave her M&M's. But then she got sprayed again so that her bangs could be cut, and she cried for the rest of the haircut. As soon as it was done, she was fine so I could get my hair cut. She would run up to me and say, "Mommy getting a haircut?" Very cute. Unfortunately, the woman who cut Zach and John's hair did a pretty bad job. They'll probably have to get a hair cut somewhere else next month.
