Our Big Girl

Well, I am still a little in shock about what happened today. We went on our normal errands to the BX & to the Post Office. We walked by the beauty salon on the way to the BX & Abby made a comment about getting her hair cut. I thought she was kidding, but no, she was VERY serious. I have no idea what brought this on or where it came from. I thought if I took her shopping, she would not be interested in it, but she asked again if we could get her hair cut "right now." SO, I asked how she wanted to get it cut. She said she wanted it like Grandma's hair...oh my, that's SHORT. I told her we might want to leave it a little longer, so she decided to get it cut like mine. Hmmm...I wish my hair was as thin as hers. Anyway, we went to the salon & this is what you can get for $7.50...



That girl is cute...long hair or short! Yes, I am her mother, but it's cute. I really thought I might cry when I saw all that hair hit the ground. The funny thing is that I had just read an article on how you need to let your kids make some decisions for themselves. As a parent if you make them all now, it doesn't give them the experience in dealing with what happens after they make decisions...good or bad. ANYWAY, Brad asked if she is going to grow it back out and she said, "it's growing back right now, Daddy" in her really dramatic exasperated way! :) DUH.


Side view...Ms. Kim did a good job. It's not easy cutting a 3yo's hair! :)



Back view...

Truthfully, if I weren't still carrying around this extra baby weight, I would go & get the same haircut! :) She seems much happier. As I have said many times, "it's just hair." So, she made a big girl decision & seems okay with it. Who knows...maybe my next post will be with MY haircut. She wants me to do it tomorrow... :)

Bloggy love,
