We Cut Our Hair!

It was time for a change, and boy did we get one! I'd reached the point where I had to have the girls' hair in pigtails or a pony tail not to be annoyed by just how much hair they have managed to grow in 3 years, so... we cut it! The girls were great sports as the inches came off, and after seeing Emma and Caroline's hair, another mom in the salon tried to convince her little girl to do the same thing. Guess they're trend-setters already...  Since the big event, we've been able to cut about 5 minutes off of the morning routine, and the compliments just keep coming. One woman stopped Ma Mere in the bathroom of a local pizza place just to tell her that Caroline's haircut was the "cutest little girl haircut" she'd ever seen. Unfortunately, Caroline may not be as convinced. She has already asked for long hair (as if we can produce it for her in the same way we produce rubber bands and bows for her hair!) and we are working hard on the concept of hair growth. But time to grow the hair out may not be Caroline's biggest problem: her parents, who love both the look and the convenience of the shorter hair, may never let it get long again!
