Rat tail

Serafina was born with a lot of hair. Though it has thinned out in spots, she hasn't really lost it the way Leo did. People often comment on her mop and I love to run my fingers through it. Who doesn't love soft baby hair? Right out of the womb she had a rattail and it has only gotten longer and...well, strange looking since then. Friends and family have encouraged me to cut it and Tom (of course) has been pestering me to let him chop it off. I thought it was kind of cute, but I finally gave in today.

Here is the "tail".
Put in a rubber band for chopping and preserving.
Here comes daddy, scissors ready.
Post-chopping.
Tom checks his work.
She survived it.
She's sporting a very chic look now. I'm leaving the front and sides long because I want them to grow out and tuck behind her ears as opposed to dealing with bangs. We'll be using a lot of clips since it is starting to hang in her eyes.

I took a little video of the actual chop, but Serafina was crying. Once the hair came off, Leo burst into tears. And I start bitching at Tom to stop cutting because he kept making snips to even it out. We don't need to relive it. Everyone is happy now and the rattail is saved in the keepsake box.
