The biggest mistake, I think, was believing that demurring would buy me more time.
As in "Yes, I think that bangs might be okay. I guess."
As in "Yes, I think that bangs might be okay. I guess."
Or was the biggest mistake taking a nap and leaving her to the Galan women?
Either way, I lost my baby on December 26th.
She had been gone for a while--replaced with a sassy toddler who learned to say "MINE!" and "MAS BITES!" but I was not ready to let her go completely.
Especially without another baby to take her place any time soon.
And it does look a lot better. And pony tails are much cuter.
And Nena did a much better job than I could have.
Still.
My heart broke a little when I woke up and had to pretend to be so happy.

I feel it and I have no words.
(Except to say, dang if she isn't just the cutEST!)
I know! It saves her from massive pounishment on a regular basis. Thanks for your props.
Oh I know. I had to be told that Guille needed a cut. I was so loathe to do it. He looked so much better, but he looked so old too.
She bangs! She bangs!
You know that I kept my kid looking like a goon until she was 6!! I cried. I didn't expect it to make me so sad and I felt JUST the way you did... the all illusions of her being my little girl are gone.
I have to say that she looks adorable and I LOVE the bangs. She is such a pretty little thing and this must makes it even better. :-)
Bibi will always be the bibi.
Oh and I love the new girl. Love her I do. And I wanted to tell you how I really REALLY love the mind of Jasper Fforde. I own every book. Two are signed.
He had me at "Do you know Jack?"
Ricardo--Thanks. Any Menudo reunions coming up?
~J--I needed that reassurance
Bekand Az--I would have done it on my own one day, maybe. I think.
CW--I am addicted to them. I keep reading them and trying to find more things I don't already understand. I loves me those books.
Adorable... I still haven't cut Kalea's hair... not ready. And ditto on Fforde... technically I haven't read one...just listened to on audio CD... I love audio cds... probably because I love story time.
ps. Whoever cut Jooj's hair has what looks like a great manicure. I'm jealous - can't sustain one with all the poopy diapers I get to change.
LOVE the bangs! Totally understand your plight and recommend that in the future you cut earlier and it won't be as traumatizing as waiting until they're a teenager.
That first haircut is such a shock. I feel your pain! You're lucky you could get away with it for so long. I couldn't let my boys' hair get very long, lest they be confused for the wrong gender. (I went through that in 8th grade, and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.)
