When you adopt an "older" child it's often little things that catch you off guard and remind you that you missed precious parts of your child's life.
***********
A simple question...."
is this her first haircut?" causes a sharp pain in my chest as I am forced to acknowledge that of course this is
not her first haircut.
And yet it is a first...for
US.
And because it is
OUR FIRST I want to celebrate it with every bit of ceremony I would have if it was her first too.
"
Yes, it's her first cut!", I say to the slightly confused stylist... and we want the whole "first cut treatment"!
I don't have that first lock of hair but I have
THIS one.

| before shot...she was very excited to sit in the chair |
 |
| all washed out and ready for a cut...at this point she's not quite sure what's going on |
 |
| she seemed pretty pleased with herself when it was all done |
 |
| she asked for her nails to be painted... |
 |
| and inspected the stylists work closely |
 |
| I was so impressed at her ability to stay still |
 |
| and here is the official first cut certificate and complete with lock of hair |

| A proud little dumpling showing off her new do |
