lilah's first haircut

some would say it's about damn time, but lilah never asked for a haircut, and she has always been really good about getting her hair brushed twice a day, washed and dried a few times a week, and kept out of her face in nursery / swimming / and other activities.

but a few weeks ago, lilah started asking for a haircut.  she said she wanted short hair like fay's.

steven and i didn't want to make a big deal about it, as cutting hair for some children is quite traumatic.  hell, i remember feeling like the world had ended after i had my haircut really short one time as a child, and i didn't want lilah to experience that.

so although it was about 6 1/2 inches that our dear friend colette chopped off -- it's still long enough to pull back in a ponytail, braid, or swing around (like a princess).

and if she wants, she can still cut it shorter.

a very happy lilah and colette

she's such a big girl!

well done lilah 

(she did get a lollipop at the end for doing such a good job)

thank you, as ever, colette, for taking such good care of our hair!

we love you!
