Hair Cut


I've been thinking about cutting Sunny's hair for a little bit now. Ever since I've been pregnant, her hair has been a knotted mess and pulled into a messy pony tail. I just don't have the energy to fix it. It was getting super long, and was beautiful, but only if I took care of it. The reason I hesitated to cut it was because of the trauma I obviously still feel over the time she cut her hair. That was 16 months ago, and I have been drilling into her head since then that we are going to grow her hair to her butt.

But, it was getting so long and difficult that I started to think about cutting it. The only problem was that she was having none of it. I bribed her with everything I could think of and nothing worked. She was not cutting her hair. Then our little neighbor across the street cut hers, and Sunny thought it was adorable (and it is), so I used that to try and persuade her. It was still not quite enough. Then I hit the jackpot. A tea set! Yes, a tea set. She used to have one that Mok gave her, but a lot of the pieces are lost now (that's what happens when you have tea parties outside and in the bath tub) and she wanted a new one. As soon as I suggested it she said "Okay, lets do it!" So we did. She loves it. It also helps that I told her that hair keeps growing over and over and so it could get long again if she wanted it too.

She looks adorable! So cute. It was way hard to cut Lauren's hair too...I think I was slightly traumatized as well. :) But now it is so much easier to manage which means more time for me! Yay!
