Tonight I am going to get my hair all chopped off. I'm really excited and nervous too, but as I looked for the perfect cut on the internet I read "It's not an arm. It will grow back" it gave me some perspective.

The following conversation happened just the other day.....

Kati, I'm so excited about getting my hair all cut off.

And if I like it (meaning my hair) I'm gonna get my hair all cut off too, just like Kayla's.

Yah

Mommy, will my hair be all black then like Kayla's or will it still be blond like my hair?

Oh, no no, it will still be blond. Getting your hair cut doesn't change the color it just changes how long your hair is.

But sometimes you say 'I'm gonna get my hair cut and colored'

I love kids!

Jeff and I are really really nervous about Kati getting her hair cut short. It will be adorable, I know, but she has had this long beautiful hair forever. I won't be able to braid it any more, no more ponytails, no more experimenting with new 'dos and I'll have to blow dry it. It kind of seems like too grown up of a thing to do.
