FIRST Haircut!

We have been trying to convince Harlen that she needed a haircut for months. It is so long and thick and with summer heat around the corner it just had to happen. She was opposed to it for the longest time, but with a little encouraging and a tiny bit of pushing she agreed. First, we went to see the salon (Sweet & Sassy). We met the stylist and had them take us on a tour and "dry run" so that Harlen new exactly what was going to happen. Then we booked the appointment and started a countdown to the big day. She would ask me every morning, "How many more days until my haircut?" Finally, the day arrived. She was so brave and excited. The lollipop really won her over. The stylist asked how much we wanted to cut off and I showed her about how much. Garrett asked if we could donate it and she said if we cut off just a little more than what we planned that we could, in fact, send it off to donate. So, we asked Harlen and she thought it was so cool that another little girl would get to have some of her hair and she wanted to share it... so off it went! She cut quite a bit. It looks so cute and will be perfect for summer. And I'm sure by the winter it will have grown right back out if she wants her long hair again. :)
