Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow

Poor Reese. The kid must have the slowest growing hair on the planet. Her first haircut was at age 3. And by haircut, I mean she had about a quarter of an inch trimmed off of the bottom. The second was at age 4 and once again she had maybe a half inch cut (and I may very well be pushing it with that estimation....it was probably less). Not only does it grow slowly, but it also only seems to grow in the back. If mullets or rat tails were in she would be in luck! They aren't in and I pray that they never are. I started to see a mulletesque hairdo emerging and had to put the kibosh on that baby pronto. Up until now we've taken her to the kiddie style walk-in places but I thought it was time for her first salon experience. So last night, off we went to see my hairdresser, Jess. She was super excited when we got there: Having her hair washed in preparation for her cut:

Ready to start: Almost finished: Drying: Voila!: She couldn't get over how "grown up" she looked when Jess was finished. She didn't cut much off but evened it out enough to de-mulletize it and put a few layers in the back. Super cute :) And now, presenting.....Captain Heartbreaker: Poor little dude has the worst diaper rash I've ever seen in my life. He's swelled up and rashy in places that no one should ever have to be. I feel terrible for him. I went through about 4 pounds of Boudreaux's Butt Paste today so I'm hoping it's cleared up by tomorrow. And one last photo....because you can never have enough blackmail photos of your kids:
