Surprise

Ashley surprised us all and decided to get more then a trim. I have always loved her long hair and never wanted to cut it. Kevin on the other hand has hated washing it for many years and has always threatened that he was going to take her and get it all cut off. I have trained her to say that she only wants a trim and that no one could ever cut her hair but Teresa.
As she has gotten older and wants to wear it down more I have started to lose my patience with brushing her hair out. She has a tender head and isn't the most cooperative. About a year ago, I told her that if she ever wanted to cut it, she was free to do whatever she wanted but she kept telling me she loved her long hair.
Today she surprised us all when she ask Teresa to cut about five inches off it.

Here is what it looked like before. I am still in shock with how much she wanted off.

When Teresa made her first cut, Ashley looked like she was going to cry. I was worried that she was having second thought. I could tell that Teresa was thinking the same thing but Ashley kept telling her to keep on cutting. Ashley stayed quiet throughout the whole haircut. We finished and left. I was still so worried that she was having second thought until she went bouncing out to the car and anxiously awaited for Allison to notice. I was relieved and I love her new hair cut. It will take awhile to get use to the shorter hair.

Who knows what she will do next time we go?
