a big day for hair

Today was a big day for hair at our house.

Italy must have some kind of magical hair-growing additive in their water because all of us started following in Rapunzel's footsteps while we were there -- well, not Dan because he actually got several haircuts at the Italian barber shop.

This morning I confirmed my suspicions: I could in fact make a ponytail with Jackson's hair. There's only room for one ponytail in this house. Mine.
I'd had my eye on this ridiculously cute kids' salon (L'il Klippers) at the Wallingford Center since before he was born - it's all about the pictures, you know.

So, today Jackson got to wear a Winnie the Pooh cape, sit inside of a rocket ship, push buttons, and "drive" while Miss Elizabeth reduced his hippy-in-the-making locks to a more polished little-dude-on-the-rise coiffure. He was remarkably still for each snip of the scissors, only taking breaks from driving his rocket a few times to reach back to touch his hair and say "uh oh!"Miss Elizabeth documented Jackson's first haircut with a certificate of membership into the L'il Klippers Klub. (I promise his fresh-cut locks are still blonde - they look brown here in the photo because they were put in the bag while wet).We celebrated the occasion with lunch and a Vanilla Vanilla cupcake from Trophy Cupcakes next door before we called it a day.Dan and I can't believe how grown up our little dude looks with his new 'do!And because every make-over deserves a before & after shot:
