The Big Hair Cut

Last Wednesday, Sydney made her second big decision regarding her hair. The first decision she made (last August) was to grow out her bangs and then I foolishly told her that once her bangs were as long as her chin, she could cut her hair short. Well, her hair grows fast.

After:




She looks so much more grown up now. Sniff, sniff.

But I am very proud of her. She made her decision and did not waver one bit, not even when the beautician pulled out the big scissors and began cutting off her 12 inch long pony tail. Her hair will be donated to Locks of Love so that another child can benefit from those long, wavy tresses.

Of course, now that she's had a taste of making some decisions regarding her looks, she's now asking for earrings. What's next? A tattoo?

I am so not ready for her to grow up.
