Locks of Love

We have decided it's almost time to cut Joey's hair. It's getting so long it's now down to her waist. Sometimes that makes it very difficult to do. Joey is still traumatized from her last experience with getting her hair cut, so I'm not sure yet how this one will turn out. Anyway, my friend is a hair dresser and I was asking her opinion on what we should do with Joey's hair. You know, how short, layered or not... those kinds of things. She said I should wait a few more months and cut her hair super short and donate it to locks of love. I thought this was a wonderful idea since my dad so recently lost his hair to chemo. So we've been talking a lot with Joey about how when we have Brooke cut her hair, we are going to donate it so that kids who have lost their hair like Bop-Bop can have something on their heads. She seems ok with the idea now. I told her we were going to cut her hair and then watch it grow back, and she laughed and said, "Silly mom. It won't grow back." We have come past that now so that she wants to always grow her hair long like this so she can always cut it short to give to people. I don't mind as I see it as good service she can give people. This picture is just of how long her hair is now. Yes, it's right before bed and I've already done her hair, but it's just easier that way sometimes.
