Change is GOOD

Emmy has quite the head of hair. This you know.

She's usually really good about getting it combed, washed, braided, whatever. 'Usually' being the keyword.

I finally convinced her yesterday that her life (and mine) would be simpler (and less painful) if her hair were shorter.

Then I whacked it off!

But not before I called Tess so she could make me feel good about myself and my haircutting abilities and give me some pointers. The convo went something like this:
Tess: "Just cut it Jayne, it's not a big deal."
Jayne: Hyperventilating
Tess: "Jayne. No crazy layers, just mild ones. Go."
Jayne: Mildly hyperventilating.
Tess: "You can do this. I have ultimate faith in you."
Jayne: "Pray for us."

The support troops were out in full force.

This is Jonah asking Caleb if he could get his hair cut next.

This is Emmy being happy/shocked.

I was very curious as to what this morning would bring, and it was much less chaotic than I expected!

At least it's not a complete fuzz ball. She's been bouncing everywhere today because she likes the way it feels. No remorse on her part!

Why oh why oh Why didn't I do this months ago?
