the haircut

madelyn asked for three things for her birthday - to cut her hair short, to pierce her ears and to decorate her room. she said that she didn't want toys. so today we took care of part one.

madelyn could not have been more excited! she is donating her hair to "children with hair loss" this time. she was pretty excited about that part of it too. it was so cute because she let us watch the initial cut, but then wanted us to wait in the lobby to be 'surprised' by the finished look.

i generally don't care about hair because it can always grow back, but i was a little sad because her hair is so pretty. she hates having long hair and rarely lets me fix it for her so why not? i didn't take an 'official' picture of her final cut, but there are lots of pictures to come. love.
