Good Bye Squirrel



Over the years, Maddie and I have had a love hate relationship with her hair. I love her hair combed, she hates to comb her hair. She inherited my thick hair, but not my hard head. She has yet to click the "like" button on the, I Will Brush My Hair app. So we have gone the rounds over the years with me threatening to comb her hair if she doesn't.  Her sisters' love to have their hair done. Not her though. Some days at church I had to control myself from reaching out to smooth it down.  I'd look over and to my horror, discover she had combed over the top portion only. What was exposed underneath was a tangled mass of dreads. I think a squirrel was living in there.
Paige is not pictured because she was in the parade we were at.
She attended girls camp for the first time this summer and when she came home I found out she hadn't combed it once while she was there. So we promptly went into the kitchen and cut it into a cute layered bob. I did want to cry though. Nine inches of hair laying on my kitchen floor.......gone. Her hair has always been curly, and now that it's not so long and heavy, it's curling up so darn cute. The bonus is she is now combing it! I put some highlights in there too as a "coming of age" kind of thing. The parade photo is her long hair before and some after shots too. She is such a beautiful girl!
