Emma's First Haircut

Yep, you read that right. Emma has never had her hair cut. Until today...

Here's the before shot...



Elizabeth and I measured her hair and she cut off 8 1/2 inches so that we could donate her hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. What a fun thing to do for her first haircut, right!?!?
They are an organization similar to Locks of Love that makes wigs for women and children who have cancer. (We kept a little for her baby book too).

Checking our measurements...
...you know what they say...measure twice, cut once. :)

Emma was so excited to get to sit in the fancy chair and wear the special cape.



...During...

After!


She loves it. It makes her look so much older.

I'm sure this will be her first of many donations to Pantene Beautiful Lengths. :)
The pros for her short hairdo:

1. she loves it
2. it makes washing sooo much easier. She was starting to look a little Crystal Gale-ish.
3. it doesn't get caught up under her armpits anymore. ha
4. it's much cooler.
5. she doesn't cry b/c Caleb has stepped on it nearly as often.

The one big con...
All those sweet little ringlets of hers are gone. :( Oh well. At least we have Caleb's curls to enjoy for a few more weeks.
