HAIRCUT!!!

Yup, I did...I got her hair cut...and I had them cut 16.5 inches!!! It has been on ongoing debate with myself...should I or shouldn't I! The straw that broke the camels back...when I spent over an hour one night brushing out a HUGE knot in her hair from the previous night when she went to bed without having her hair in a ponytail. I was done!! Yes, she had beautiful long blond hair and EVERYONE fell in love with it...however, they are not the ones who has to spend a minimum of 10 minutes on it every day (and that's a good day!) Her uncle still won't talk to me over cutting her hair, but I am sure he will get over it.
We donated her hair to Locks of Love. Emily was not wanting her hair cut at all. As soon as I explained that her beautiful hair would go to someone who was really sick and couldn't grow hair, she settled down quite a bit. And then as soon as they cut her hair and she realized how much better her head felt, she was excited. The next morning when she brushed it and realized how much easier it was to brush, she was THRILLED!! Needless to say, it worked out best in the end :)
