Ok all - I am back ! Had a BUSY weekend !
Today we went to get Ella's haircut. It was getting so long and she was starting to look like a crazy person. I admit I am the mom that puts my daughters hair up in coordinating bows, ponytails, curlers, pig tails - the whole works. Ella loved it ! Well....that is until about a month or so ago.
She will still sit still with the same patience and lets you take the longest time on her hair, but the minute she runs out the door - she throws the bows on the floor and yanks the ponytails out. She wants her hair "long" ( which means down in her world).
I know she is only two but the other day we had a little chit chat that if she wasn't going to let me put "piggies" or "ponies" in her hair anymore I was going to cut it short. She clarified it wasn't going to look like her daddies ( who is going bald)

and said " Ok - cut Ella's hair" !
So I told Dan that instead of just a trim like I normally do I was going to cut it ! He said fine - whatever.

What do you expect a man to say when discussing his little girls haircut - right ?
We went and got her haircut - SHORT ! A little bob. It looks cute. Ella loves it and while I wish I had my little girl who still loved bows and piggies. It just isn't a battle I am willing to fight everyday. Someday I am sure she will want long hair back and that's when we will grow it.
When Dan saw Ella's hair he just about fell over

One of the first comments he made was " It sure would have been nice to be consulted about cutting it THAT short. "

When I reminded him that he WAS part of the conversation he only rolled his eyes and said " I thought you were kidding. "

UMMMM - NOPE - no kidding here !
So after my long winded story here is my little pumpkin with her new "do" . I might have mommy goggles on but I think she is just too stinkin cute !
