A Rash Decision

Maybe I didn't think.

Maybe I just rushed into it.

What did I do??? !!!

Yep!

That is the before.

And this...

is the after.
First haircut ever.

She actually liked it right from the beginning.

I did have to convince her to let me cut it in the first place.

But then snip snip and it was done.

I just put it in a low pony-tail and cut across.

Which gave it a nice A-line shape, surprisingly enough.

Then, I decided that my sis needed to fix it up just a bit.

J was not so sure.

I don't think he wanted it to get any shorter.

I guess you can't tell in any picture just how short the back is but it is short.

The front is a couple inches longer.

She is still cute.

Thank goodness.

I am glad that she didn't think that I ruined her forever.

Like I did when my mom cut my hair too short.

But this will all go for a good cause.

Locks of Love will be receiving

twelve inches of hair.

That is right 12 inches.

I measured.

I could go out to a decimal but that is just unnecessary.

(Bytheway, a ponytail waiting on the counter is a little creepy.)

So, I said she liked it.

But I started having all this regret.

Soon we would be taking family pictures

and for dance class she couldn't wear a bun anymore

and the baby curls are gone

and...

It was a little sad.

It was like a monumental statement that

my girl

my baby girl

was growing up.

She does look older.

I am over it now.

I mean these pictures were actually taken the end of June.

(I am just barely getting to this post.)

My Sunshine is a big girl.

And I think that her hair looks good.

Hopefully

It (the 12 inched) can be used as somebody else's hair.
(Which is also a little creepy if you really think about it.)
