Audrey's New Haircut

For the past year Audrey has been growing out her bangs and the rest of her hair with them. I've had a hard time with it because Audrey almost always refuses to tie it back or wear a headband and I feel like the ragamuffin look with her hair always covering her face reflects on us as parents. The bangs recently were just getting long enough to start staying behind her ears.

Today Carol had a hair appointment. It's spring break so Audrey planned to go with her. This morning Audrey told Carol she wanted to go and get her hair cut short again. Carol was nervous about it given the time investment Audrey has made in growing her hair, but Audrey was sure. Off they went.

I had no idea they had been discussing short hair, so when I got home from work I was surprised. I think it's incredibly adorable. I'm so happy to see Audrey's beautiful eyes again!
