NEW HAIRCUT!!

For quite a while, Haille has begged to have her long hair cut up to her chin. Her hair was almost down to her butt, and she wanted it off!! She has only had little "trims" since she was born & we loved it long. I reminded her that if she got it cut, we could no longer put it in curlers, or ponytails, and we wouldn't be able to braid it. I could not persuade her, she wanted it cut, and we were not going to change her mind. The more I thought about it, I decided that she IS the one that takes care of her hair, after all. Some time later, I was making strawberry shortcake & I wanted her to take a bite (for all that know her, she's a VERY picky eater - it's a fight to get her to try new things). I bribed, "try a bite & I'll take you to cut your hair tomorrow." As quickly as I said that, she grabbed the spoon out of my hand and took a bite!! That's how bad she wanted her hair cut. So, true to my word, I took her the next day to get her haircut. One of the saddest days of my life. She still looks beautiful, but now she looks so grown up. She's not my little girl anymore, she's my little lady.
