12 inches too long....

The first haircut is always a huge deal to parents. I think especially so on your sweet little girls. Which is exactly why, at 5 years of age, my daughter has had her hair trimmed three times in her whole life. And when I say trimmed I mean far less than an inch. She had the most beautiful curly hair when she was little and it was just so cute I could never cut it.

Well, her hair ended up being all the way down her backside, and we were dealing with being 5, sassy, and having far too many tangles. So, we talked about cutting her hair for a while and she wasn't ready, and then she finally said she was ready.

We head over to the hair salon and we let our girl know that we are donating to locks of love. I realize of course that I forgot my camera so no, I did not get any pics of this. She puts Elise's hair in a pony tail and wack, it's gone and I think the first thing I said was, "Kids hair grows back fast, right?"

Needless to say, I am not super excited about her haircut, but she was so we made a big deal to tell her how pretty it is. It has been a week now since we did that, and I can not say yet that it has grown on me. Yes, I like it, and it is much easier, but she looks older and I was not ready for that. Here are just a few pics so you can see the new hair.
