Who knew 7 year olds could be so grown up?!
I was trimming the girls bangs the other day, so I could see their faces again! It was all going rather well until I got to Makenzie, who promptly told me, "I want my hair cut real short!" OMG are you kidding me?? NO way was I going to cut that kids hair! If you know Adam-you know why!
So, I explained to her that she was going to have to speak to her daddy about this, and she better have a great reason.
soooooo when her dad came home, she sat down with him and told him she wanted her hair cut. Her reason- her friend has short hair, his answer NO WAY!
He explained she was her own person and should not change the way she looked because of the way someone else looks. Then he pretty much dismissed her. Well, this was not okay in her book, so she came back!
She said, Daddy, I want my hair cut because it't too long in the back, and I can't brush all of it by myself. -What? are you serious? She came up with a reasonable argument to his dismissal and was not backing down. She said, "I really want it cut short, I want it to look different."
They went back and forth trying to figure out how short, short really was and settled on shoulder length. He said he would think about it-she kissed him and ran out of the room shouting, "and if you say yes Id like to do it tomorrow!"
She left the room leaving me ALONE with Adam and his brooding. However, he didn't really say much except," I guess Ill let her do it."
Making him (music please) "The best dad in the whole world... Thank you, thank you, thank you"
So, yesterday when we woke up Makenzie said, "dad said yes lets go get my hair cut before he changes his mind!" OMG when did she start growing up?
So, we went to the salon, looked through all the books and Makenzie picked out a hair style she liked and got her first ever actual hair cut! (Dad likes it) BTW the stylist was shocked that none of the girls had ever had a hair cut before... lol and no they have not, a trim yes but not an actual hair cut.
