Any time Lyssa has complained about getting her hair washed, combed, brushed, touched, pulled, put up, etc. I have told her we could cut it and make it a lot easier. She always insisted she still wanted it long, until last week. Every day for an entire week she came to me and told me she wanted her hair cut short. How short? Short "like Rapunzel at the END of Tangled". Short "like Miss Riah" (Mariah, her beautiful 7 year old BFF). Everyone questioned her.
Me: Do you really want it that short?
Elyssa: Yes.
Me: Are you sure you want to cut it?
Elyssa: Yes.
Alec: You know I won't like it short, right?
Elyssa: Yes.
Nick: It will take a long time to grow back, right?
Elyssa: It's okay. It will be long by the time we go to Costa Rica again!
This girl was sure so I made an appointment and made sure to take before and after photos.
She had sooo much hair that they we were actually able to donate it to Locks of Love. It was kind of neat to explain to the kids how it works. They were very interested, and since Alec had a little girl with cancer in his preschool class last year he understood. Since Elyssa's hair cut almost everyone that knows her has made a comment to her about her cute short hair. Finally on Sunday after church she said to me "Why does everyone keep talking to me about my hair? It's just hair!"
I couldn't help but laugh.
I think my little lady has a good head on her shoulders.
I sure love that sassy little lady and her short, easy breezy hair. :-)

She is smart. :-) I love it.
I love it too! I'm showing these pictures to Maddie!
She looks so cute! So does Alec not like it now that she actually cut it? I've always thought little girls look adorable with cute little bobs.
