Hair today, gone tomorrow.

My baby just cut all her hair off.  She's been growing it out to donate to Locks of Love for the past year and it was finally long enough so she begged me to make her appointment.  I brought her to my beloved hair dresser, Robin, who I knew would do a fantastic job not only on her hair, but at putting Ava at ease.  Ava loved it!  (I think I might have many more hair appointment bills in my distant future now.  Robin spritzed her hair with sparkles at the end of the appointment and I'm pretty sure that sealed the deal for Ava.)

She's had a few trims before, but this was her first "big girl hair appointment" getting a drastic change. 

I'm not gonna lie, it was a little emotional for me.  I was excited because she had been excited, talking about it all weekend, but I was also a little sad to see the long hair and pigtails go...

I'm so proud of a daughter who wants to give back... so proud that she cares and wants to make a difference.

I'm so proud of the young lady she is becoming.  She has the prettiest heart.

  But... oh the pigtails.  Pigtails are so "little girl" to me, and this little bob haircut makes her look so grown up!

I wish I could stop time.

But apparently I can't... so here's to enjoying the fleeting moments.  Isn't she the cutest?
