Ahhh, the fights between mother and daughter have already begun. For you
dedicated blog followers, you'll remember that we trimmed her hair last fall. However, outside of the that
minuscule trim, we've pretty much let her hair just grow. You can't tell too well from this picture, but her hair had grown all the way down to her lower back. Because of her curls, dreads had become the natural state of her hair and tangles could only be brushed out when wet (I actually should say picked out since we can only use a pick on her hair). This meant every morning I would have to wet down her hair, add product (
ie detangler and some sort of gel), and have a battle of the wills to get her hair in a presentable state instead of the wolf child style Emma preferred. Her hair turned out pretty cute when I won (see below). But in the name of wise parenting and picking your battles (actually just exhaustion from fighting her every morning), I decided to cut her hair to make it more
manageable. A win-win since Emma LOVES getting her hair cut. And her little bob turned out pretty adorable, a huge relief.

Cute, huh?

She is such a cutie. I can't believe how long her hair was. Her new cut is adorable though!
so cute!
Emma Mae, I love your new hair cut. Your curls are beautiful sweetie and I love when you wear bows and clips in your hair. I always feel better when I have my hair cut and "conditioned" : }
Love, Noni <3
we are a sucker for long locks but your new do is way cute!!
So cute and way to go, Mom! Seriously... Mary's hair is the same way (but not quite as curly as Emma's!). Everytime I cut it, there's a sweet sense of relief (even though I love it long too... but agree that it makes for ROUGH mornings!). Very nice. Love the short "do" on her. :)
