We celebrated Brooke's birthday last weekend.
Chloe always cuddles up with Grandma Bonnie.
Brooke requested white cupcakes with white frosting.
At AWANA Wednesday night it was Superhero Night. Addy was Queen Elsa, Brooke was Supergirl, and Luke was Batman. Chloe didn't dress up, but she was cute for the picture!
I had been telling Addy she needed to get her hair cut. She never wanted to even get a trim. I knew it was time because she couldn't comb it out herself and it was really hard to wash. I told her I was going to cut it a little because it just needed it.
She was worried about how much. I said, "I don't know, a few inches at least. Or you could cut 10 inches off and donate it and it would still be pretty long." I showed her the pamphlet from "Children With Hair Loss" and after seeing all the little girls that had wigs she knew that she wanted to donate her hair to help make a wig for a little girl that had lost her hair like Brooke.
Here is the before picture.
And after... She never regretted it. She said it felt so good when I cut it off. She felt so much lighter. She didn't realize how much her hair was weighing her down! She couldn't stop running her fingers through her silky smooth, freshly cut hair.
To cut it off, I put it in 5 small pony tails. I adjusted the rubber bands so they were all even, and cut just above the rubber band. Then I needed to even out the ends a little.
It's the next day and she is still glad she did it, but it is taking awhile to adjust to not having to pull her hair out of her coat every time she puts it on!
