Bye-bye Mullet

So..... I always said I would never cut my daughter's hair until she was 7 and she was sitting on it in school, but I barely lasted a year! Her hair grows REALLY fast (which is awesome), but it didn't have a chance to get thicker before it grew to her shoulders so she looked like she had a mullet. Now I'm not sure if you're aware of this or not, but mullets are not "in" for 2010, so I went against Joe's wishes and secretly cut her hair (we'll see what he says when he gets home tomorrow- if he even notices).

I was scared to death her cut her hair because I could just see her turning her head to see what I was doing while I was mid-cut and I would end up cutting off her ear or something! I sat her down in the kitchen to play in the cupboard, something she never gets to do so she was completely engaged. I was so worried about cutting quickly that I didn't take the time to judge the right length and I ended up cutting off more than I originally wanted to, but I was thrilled that it turned out straight the first time. I ended up cutting off about 1 1/2 inches. Now her hair is all one length and it looks so much thicker and healthier. Hopefully when it grows out this time it will stay this way!

Looking back at pictures, Madison was completely bald at 6 months, so I'm thinking by the time she's 2 she will have nice thick hair down to her shoulders again!

Wish me luck with Joe! I'm really hoping he just doesn't notice (men are horrible at noticing things like that right?!).
