Until now.
It was a big decision for all of us-especially Jason. He said the "Emerson Haircut Decision" was similar to "Alayna's Virgin Ears". (You can read all about the virgin ears here.) We've been studying all about Locks of Love and Emerson just thinks it would be fabulous to have her hair be a part of a wig for some little girl out there who has lost her hair. We ultimately decided that because the hair would be used for a good cause and we really had no reason not to do it, that we would honor her wish.
So, with shaky hands and through mild perspiration, Sunday night I cut ELEVEN INCHES of Emerson's hair off. Hair that she had been growing since birth. One of the last things remaining from her babyhood. I didn't really think she could get any cuter, but good LORD, she looks adorable. And she knows it.

What an amazing thing she has done at such a young age! Wow! I wish my hair would grow long enough to donate. I am, however, cursed with hair that continually breaks off at a certain point.
ReplyDeleteawwww! good job! I don't know how you did it... made me get a bit teary just looking at the pictures!! she sure does look cute though, but I can't wait to see it in person!!
ReplyDeleteThere is no possible way that this child could ever look bad. She is adorable!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe YOU cut it! That's pretty brave. It looks awesome! Way to go, Emerson (and mom!) :)
ReplyDeleteOH EM GEE! You did it! I love it so much! So super cute :) I know it's hard to do it but you'll get over it and like how much easier it is!
ReplyDeleteEm, you look so cute with short hair. I know you like it too by the way you swing your head around.
ReplyDeletewhat a super little girl you've got, sooooo thoughtful. And what a cute cut it is on her!
