Lil Bit's First Haircut!

A quick aside...
B-mama, you hit the nail on the head in your comment on our last post! Lil Bit is sooo cute and I've caved numerous times recently because of it! I mean, how can I resist?! Of course this is now starting to haunt me because I've had to say "no" and stick to it, despite her cuteness, on a few issues recently. Needless to say, her 2 year old self  hasn't taken to that very well (read: throws a fit and screams and lies on the floor wherever we are).
The cuteness! Aaah! : )

Okay, on to today's post.
2013...the year that Lil Bit gets her first haircut and the year Lil Boo will go off to kindergarten (8 months from now, but still). Waaaaah! Waaaah! Waaah! My babies are growing up so fast!! Seriously, I had such a hard time taking the plunge to get Lil Bit's hair cut. Her locks were really getting long and kind of stringy but I just couldn't do it. It would be our last "first haircut" and thus was an emotional hurdle for me to overcome. But, I finally made the appointment. I just knew I was going to bawl. But, I didn't...at the actual haircut (more on that later)! She was such a big girl and I was busy taking pics. She did so good! No tears and did exactly what Ms Alisha told her to do. Ms Alisha is awesome and makes me feel beautiful and special when I go see her to get my own stringy hair cut, so I knew she would just ooh and ah over Lil Bit. Ms Alisha did not disappoint! AND, Lil Bit walked away with a big ole tootsie roll pop! Score!

She is even CUTER with her little bob. How is that possible? And looks even more like Aunt R. Bebe, you'll have to scan a pic of Aunt R and send to me so I can show their resemblance.

See the tootsie roll pop on her shirt? : )

We love her new do! It fits her perfectly. Now, I didn't cry when she was getting it cut, but I did cry. After our strip to the salon, we came home, ate lunch, and then I put her down for a nap. When I heard her wake up, I went into her room to get her. And that's when it happened. I had forgotten that her hair was shorter. I was imagining my long haired gal on my way to her room. And when I opened the door and her cute little bobbed self was standing there like such a big girl, I lost it.  

I have to tell y'all this too...
When Lil Bit says 'I love you, Mama' she says, "I love you too much, Mama". I love it! Sooo sweet. I think she's trying to say I love you so much, but it comes out 'too much' and I hope she says it like that forever.

More examples of her cuteness...

I have no idea where she got this idea, but she'll just pick up something (usually something that is NOT hers) and will say "thank you so much" for it. It's killer. Gets me EVERY. TIME.

Another "thank you" and a song.
She's also going through a little dress phase.
My cousin made this dress for her when she was an itty bitty.
It's still a tad long, but she found it in her closet and the rest is history.

Okay, that's all for today folks!
