Day and Night

Now that our daughter, Katie is nearly nine-years-old, we no longer hear the cries for "Littlest PetShops" or the pleading for "Strawberry Shortcake". These days, all we hear is "Can I PLEASE get my haircut?"

Today, Katie's prayers were answered. Before she left for school, I took her "before" photo and told her that when she got home, if she still wanted to, we'd go get her hair cut. Well, despite my not-so-subtle reminders of how long it takes for hair to grow and how we can't put it up in a ponytail if it's too short... off we went to the salon.

I think Katie's hair came out really cute. You can't beat the smile on tonight's "after" photo. She's so proud of herself for making this decision on her own, and I'm glad I got a couple cute pictures out of the deal!
