chopped

kate told me one day she wanted to cut her hair off.   just out of the blue.  i made her sit on it for the whole day and then that night, took her into the bathroom to get the scissors and ponytails and at that moment, she changed her mind.  no harm, no foul.  i was glad she was making her own choices about it.

a few months later, she did the same thing.  she spent all morning talking about how she wanted to cut her hair.  we went through the same routine - "are you sure? why do you want to cut it? (not to talk her out of it, to make sure she knew why she wanted to) remember it will take a long time to grow back.  but it will grow back."  late that afternoon, i showed her in front of the mirror what it would look like and again, she assured me she was ready.

look at this girl.  i mean, just look at her!  such a beauty :)



 and here come the scissors!!
 quite the ponytail, my dear

 the pile from the rest of the haircut... mixed in with gross crumbs, etc on the floor.
 all cleaned up, shaped up, and a bit of styling

 the next day - still happy!  whew ;)
