This morning when I woke up I looked in on my little girl who was usually up by that time. I was thinking maybe she was tired because we'd spent the last week taking care of things with my husband's grandmother's funeral and had been putting in some really LONG days.
Well, turns out she wasn't sleeping but instead had set up a "salon" in her room. All of her dolls' hair was in the floor. Somehow, somewhere, sometime, someONE (daddy) had left a pair of scissors down. And this is the before and after.
oh no!. my little girl did the same thing....come to think of it, so did i at about her age. i think it's a rite of passage. don't worry hun, it'll grow back and in the meantime....she'd look real cute with dorothy hamill.

I think the main thing that breaks my heart is that everyone EEEEEEEEEVERYONE has always made comments about her long red curls. I know it will grow back and I tell myself at least she didn't cut off a finger or a leg or something that WON'T but its just like her hair was one of those defining Kaylee characteristics.
I guess I'm the only kid in the world who didn't cut my hair off. I waited until I was a teenager and did it followed by dying it fire engine red....
Had to take the pictures off. But the long and short (no pun intended) of it is that her hair was all the way down to her butt, and the color of spun copper and super wavy when brushed or ringlets when its wet.....gorgeous. Prettiest hair I've ever seen in my life on anybody.
Now she has the beginnings of a she-mullet on one side. There is a blunt chop on her right side just above her earlobe and the only way to fix it is to cut it ALL off into a very short wavy bob.
Going tomorrow at 1pm to get it fixed. Will come home with a fist full of copper ringlets and cry into them probably.
