Yes, I caved. Gave into the pressures of everyone else telling me it needed to be done. Let myself be railroaded, backed into a corner, overruled.
Sigh.
I was not ready. So not ready. She was too young. Too small. Too much of a baby. To much my baby.
But as she stood, watching intently as both of her sister’s got it done, I knew she may want to do it too. She kept pointing like she understood. My husband begged, and by begged I mean, made so many comments about it that I had no choice.
And when Katie was done, and Megan walked over and acted like it was her turn, screeching and shrieking and pointing until I had no choice but to put her in the chair.
And watch… with brimming tears…
As they made the first cut.
She seemed a bit baffled but was certainly taking it better than I was.
And when they made the second cut, they transformed her from a baby to a little toddler all in one fail swoop!
And she seemed very happy about that. I was not. Except that I sort of was. Because I could see her eyes. Her beautiful, round, large, brown eyes. And I didn’t have to chase her around and sweep the hair out of her face anymore. But I was still sad. Because I didn’t get to run around and brush the hair out of her face anymore.
But in the end, she looks great. And though I am still holding a grudge that I was talked into it – by her, before she was two – which was my goal date… she is just as beautiful as ever.
And, I suppose, will always be my baby.
Awww! what a cute post. She looks so cute with her new hair cut.
*sniff sniff* yes she does! ;)
She looks adorable! Yep, funny how cutting those bangs turns our baby girls into little girls.

She is such a doll baby! First hair cuts are hard. First everything is hard.
