Lilly decided that she wanted to get her hair cut a while back & against her daddy's wishes I scheduled her an appointment, my mom's a hair dresser... I was the only 3rd grader with a perm, so I was really excited!!!! Well, she's been telling us that she wanted to get her hair cut like a friend of hers that's really short & Mr. Hatfield was less than thrilled. To make an easy compromise I started researching how long your hair had to be before you could donate it.. it's 10" for Locks of Love and 8" for Pantene's Beautiful Lengths. So I measured Lilly's hair, my mom measured Lilly's hair & finally today Felicia (the hair stylist) did it!! Well, as it turns out Lilly had 8" that she could donate & still have about shoulder length hair!! So we did like any mother/daughter duo.... WE CHOPPED IT!! Lilly & I have decided we will be sending in her sweet little piggy tails into make some special cancer patient a beautiful wig with Lilly's help!! :) She's such an angel -- enjoy the pictures, they are guaranteed to make your heart smile!!
P.S. Jason's still not entirely happy about this, he says she looks like she's 7 years old and that makes him sad, but it's just hair and it'll grow back!! He's proud of her for such a big girl decision & for having such a big heart!! :)
She loves to swing it around.. that's her favorite part!! :)
She's really excited to be able to help someone else... we say a little prayer for cancer patients every night -- I know her Grandma Pam (Jason's sweet mama, who had cancer & went to heaven before Lilly was born) is definitely smiling down on her right now :)
