My Big Grown Up Girl With Her New Big Girl Haircut

The time has come to cut my baby's hair. She's never really had a "real" haircut. Just bang trims and cuts to clean up the bottom here and there. It's taken us almost five years to get Lana's hair this long so the thought of cutting it was well, rather emotional for me. But at the same time, mornings spent struggling to brush through the snarled knotty hair were getting less and less appealing. So we decided that the August before starting school we would cut Laina's hair and give her the "I'm a big girl, ready for kindergarten" hair cut. And so today was the day and I think she looks beautiful. And grown up. And not really my baby anymore...
