After putting Natalie to bed Carly and I had a little movie/haircut party. I had her sit in the Bumbo (yeah, my 2 1/2 year old uses it way more than my baby!), snapped the tray on, gave her some popcorn and even a little Sprite, and then cut her hair while she ate and watched a movie. She did great! A lot better than the last time I tried to cut her hair and she cried about it being “broken”. I didn’t do a great job so I actually gave it a second shot last night to even things out. We’ll see how it looks in the morning when it’s dry. It might just be worth it to pay. Ha!

While I’m not too confident with my hair cutting ability, I am pretty sure you are going to LOVE this Asiago, Spinach, and Sausage Cavatappi!

    I love quick meals like this that are full of flavor! Looks great and good idea for getting her to sit still for a hair cutting! I have 5 girls and I cut all of their hair so I feel your pain!
