Just a little off the top . . .

Evie June got her first haircut! Granted, she's still a little patchy, but there's enough there now that it merited evening out. And the mullet was getting so out of hand that I was getting tired of random people asking me if we'd gotten our season passes for Truckzilla or the tractor pull series yet.

But it didn't bother Evie enough to go quietly under the shears. Luckily we had patient helpers. First, Hilda from our small group was the expert stylist. And Duck bravely volunteered to show Evie how things go.



Sadly, his example wasn't enough. Even sadder, I was unable to take any real photos of the haircut, because Evie was screaming and clinging to me as Hilda reached up to trim the back and front of her hair. As traumatic as this first was, the first that followed was blessedly sweet. Evie enjoyed her first sucker. Here we are afterward, Evie shaking off the tears to taste her watermelon DumDum.



Trauma aside, we all love the results. Even Evie, who has taken to sporting bows instead of bedhead.
