the LONG & SHORT of it

For weeks now, Jacey has been begging us to get her hair cut. I wasn’t against it at all, I LOVE her with short hair but I also remember a few short months ago, her begging to grow it long and grow her bangs out (what a pain). She kept bringing it up though and I kept saying maybe. The last few days, she brought it up numerous times, so we had a big talk about it to explain to her that if she doesn’t like it, it will take a long time to grow back and that cutting it short won’t get rid of *all* the tangles (her hair is SO thick, but so fine it just knots). She said she understood, so we took her yesterday to get it cut. I figure, it is one of the decisions that at her current age she can actually make for herself.

After:

She amazes me all the time, with how decisive and mature she is. She sat up there in the chair, practically perfect and when the girl was initially done, asked for it just a *little bit* shorter. I think it is adorable and she absolutely loves it too.

A new year and a new do!
