a haircut is serious business

Emma's hair has grown so long, but I have noticed that it comes in a bit crooked in the back. So when it was time for the older kids to get haircuts, I decided it was time for Emma to have a trim, too. She sat very calmly in the salon chair and did her best to follow directions like "put your chin down" and "keep your back straight" and "close your eyes while I cut your bangs". It is funny to see how solemn she is in situations that involve people she doesn't know.

Unless you know Emma, you would never guess that this uber-serious little girl is actually a completely silly little goofball most of the time!
