My little ONE pound baby girl grew up!! She’s 6 now (going on 16) and she’s been BEGGGGGING me to have a hair cut for quite some time now. In my effort to hang on to my little girl as long as possible, I’ve been putting it off! Today, I finally caved! We actually were just going out to Wally World for a gallon of milk (in the middle of the day I might add…just because I’m self employeed and I CAN!!!) when I suddenly took a detour. She asked where we were going and then LIT UP when she realized we were pulling up to the hair saloon!
Why did it take me so long to cave? Well as I mentioned earlier, she was only 1 pound when she was born. Because she was so early, in order for them to get an IV started they had to shave her head to find a vein……ever since then, her hair took FOREVERRRRRRR to grow! I’m not kidding, she was literally 4 years old until I could gather up enough hair to remotely use a hair band to make a ponytail. Now here she is begging me to cut it off…….can you see why I hesitated? But today, I realized, her long hair doesn’t match her personality. She’s spunky and long hair didn’t portray “HER”……..so I let her get it cut. I can tell she loves it because as we walked thru Walmart to get that gallon of milk I set out for, she was bouncing her hair all over the place and running her fingers thru it…….and hey, it will grow back…………..someday!!!
Now it’s my turn to buckle down and get mine cut……….I’m feeling adventurous!
she just wanted it cut because i have mine like that
