Tara’s hair.

It happened like this.  Last Thursday Tara was especially excited to finally have Bobbie willingly sit on her lap.  So I took a picture to document the event:

 So proud to have Bobbie.  And Bobbie even relaxed, which in and of itself is remarkable.

What I didn’t know at the time is that I was taking a picture of her very long hair…because that all changed on Saturday.

 D'oh!

I ran in to Lincoln to get a baby gift and wander around the mall a bit.  And I returned to this:

 Yes.  That's Tara's hair.  About four inches off each side in the front.  To her credit, she did keep it symmetrical.  And even cleaned up after herself.  She was very proud.

Which resulted in needing to do a damage control haircut.  And that, quite fortunately turned out to be DARLING.  See:

The back.  About 2.5-3 inches off.  And then rounded up toward the front to create a very cute cut.

 A side shot.  Never mind that she's wearing two extra shirts around her neck like a scarf.  She's into fashion statements lately.

 She's really cute enough to pull off a crew cut.  But I hope THAT doesn't ever happen!

 A side and back shot.  Nicely tapered/rounded.  I think they call is shaping around her face in the hair design world.  I just called it damage control.

Her hair will grow.  She now has a cute little cut that is shaped around her face.  And it really is darling. (Thank goodness.  Because I was a little sick about it at first.)

It is just lovely! Isn’t it amazing how sometimes kids really know best? I should listen to kids more often. Maybe the whole world should. we would all have great hair!

Heh - damage control That haircut is Cute with a capital Q!! I’ve had my fair share of little girls chop their hair every so often. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the mom, but had to explain it.

If she ever does give herself a crew cut, just make sure she knows not to leave any corners.

Too cute! It looks so much healthier that way.

You certainly had a better outcome than what happened to one of our 5-year old twins at church. He came down from Sunday School with a Dennis-the-Menace-like chunk sticking out of the top of his head. I felt worse for the Sunday School teacher who turned her back for a second!
