Too good not to blog about...

So picture this - I'm snuggled in bed, very comfortable, trying to catch up on some sleep from this weekend. When I hear my 3 1/2 year old tip toe into my room (yes, she and her brother are supposed to be having a nap as well). "Mom, I'm a boy!" I open my blurry eyes and see Emma standing there and she does look different, but it takes me a moment - here is what I saw:



And this is what I sent to Todd's phone...





What!?! The hair cut is compliments of our residence barber - Austin. This hair cut was very thorough - the whole head of hair was cut to about an inch long.


And this is the leftovers - is it a bush? a small mammal? no, it's what use to be Emma's hair.




My Little Pony wasn't even safe from the Austin and his "child friendly" scissors.




It has taken over 3 years of only trims to get Emma's hair the length it use to be.




You don't know how many times I heard, "what cute boys you have" when she was younger and had less hair. I guess there will be a lot more of those comments for the next while. How long does it take to grow hair out? 1 year? 2? 3? Is she going to go to kindergarten looking like a boy? :)

Here are my "2 boys." I told them now I wouldn't be able to tell which one was Emma and which was Austin.



So, let's take a vote. How do you think I should style her hair, now that she has none?

A mohawk?




spikey?



Slicked down?



Or should I just revert back to the little pink bow glued into her hair?!?!?

A big thank you to Miss Kristen who encouraged perfection in cutting at the Funshine preschool. It wouldn't have been as amazing without you! lol

And remember - if you need a hair cut I know a barber - and he is cheap. :)
